Toni Kowalski, a taxi-driver, has his favorite stop at Vienna's Opernring corner, where Mizzi and her father sell flowers and press. When Toni is mistakenly involved in an accident and looses his job, he earns his living singing at the nearby villages.
Is it worth your time? If you have a soft spot for 1930s European musicals, you'll probably find this charming.

If you need grit, realism, or complex character arcs, you should probably just watch The Glass Key instead....
