Monte Carlo Madness (1932 film)
Monte Carlo Madness is a 1932 German English-language musical comedy film directed by Hanns Schwarz and starring Sari Maritza, Hans Albers and Charles Redgie.[1] In Monte Carlo, a captain tries to raise the money to pay his crew at the gaming table, and meets and falls in love with a Queen. It was an English-language version of the 1931 German film Monte Carlo Madness, which was based on the 1930 novel Bomben auf Monte Carlo by Fritz Reck-Malleczewen.
The film was not a success with contemporary critics. A review in Film Pictorial observed that "Erich Pommer is a great producer, but in this film he does not live up to his established reputation.[2]
