So, 'I Don't Know You and I Love You' is this quirky little gem from '34, where a composer stumbles upon a photo of a girl and, boom, operetta magic happens. It’s got that light-hearted comedy vibe mixed with romance, typical of the era, but there's something about the pacing that keeps it engaging, you know? The performances are charming, though the direction is a bit of a mystery, which adds to the film's unique allure. The atmosphere is all about whimsical dreams and romantic longing, with the music drawing you into Ottmar's world. It’s a nice slice of pre-war cinema that feels whimsical and slightly nostalgic, perfect for those who appreciate the nuances of early operetta films.
This film is relatively scarce, primarily existing in a few archival copies that collectors occasionally stumble upon. The lack of a known director adds an air of intrigue, making it a topic of conversation among enthusiasts of rare cinema. It was released in both theatrical and educational formats, but finding a good print can be challenging, which only heightens its appeal to dedicated collectors. Those with a keen interest in pre-war operettas will likely find this film a fascinating exploration of the genre.
