There is a Facebook group out there called Adonises of the Silver Screen. It offers amazing photos of and anecdotes about legendary actors, often shown in striking half-nude poses.Adolf Anton Wilhelm Wohlbrück (19 November – 9 August ) was an Austrian actor who settled in the United Kingdom under the name Anton Walbrook.
Recently, one of our all-time favorite operetta stars popped up amidst all the Ramon Navarros, Robert Montgomerys, John Gavins and Tab Hunters (we could go on). That operetta star was none other than Adolf Wohlbrück, who is most remembered, in the musical theater realm, for his roles in Der Zigeunerbaron and the Fledermaus adaptation Oh Rosalinda! These Strauss titles might be the direct result of Wohlbrück playing Johann Strauss in the 1933 Walzerkrieg, directed by Ludwig Berger.
He was cast opposite another operetta heartthrob in that movie: Willy Fritsch as percussionist in the Joseph Lanners orchestra; Lanner himself being played by Paul Hörbiger.
