The Emperor Waltz (1948) - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949)
<http://tiny.cc/TEWACYiKACUK/
Description: In 'The Emperor Waltz', Bing Crosby is selling record players to
members of the Austrian court of Emperor Franz Joseph. In 'Connecticut Yankee',
Johnny Burke 'musicalizes' Mark Twain's classic story as Crosby once again
deals with royals: He is a mechanic who gets transported into the past and ends
up a wisecracking wizard in King Arthur's court.

Description: Traveling Salesman Virgil Smith (Bing Crosby) wants to sell his
Grammophones in pre-WWI Austria. To enhance this, he especially wants to sell
one to Emperor Franz Joseph, but at first the Austrian palace guards think he
is carrying a bomb. He meets the Countess Johanna von Stolzenberg-Stolzenberg
(Joan Fontaine), and after the usual misunderstandings, falls in love with her.
(This is assisted by his dog Buttons.) But the relation between a Countess and
an ordinary U S citizen cannot work in Austria; that is the Emperor's opinion.
Is he wrong?
