That venerable Leo Fall operetta Die Rose von Stamboul was given a serviceable screen treatment in 1953. The fetchingly underdressed (Inge Egger) plays a pasha's niece, who agrees to a "marriage of convenience" to a supposedly stuffy diplomat. Alas, the girl has eyes only for a handsome composer (Albert Lieven). Imagine what will happen when she discovers (as the audience already has) that the diplomat and the composer are one in the same. Though well-directed and acted, Die Rose von Stamboul is saddled with rather lackluster photography, at least in the prints available for television.
