Premiere (1937 film)

Premiere is a 1937 Austrian musical crime film directed by Gza von Bolvry and starring Zarah Leander, Attila Hrbiger and Karl Martell. The wealthy backer of a Viennese musical revue is murdered on the first night of the show. It was Leanders first German language role after previously appearing in Swedish films. On the basis of her performance in the film, Leander was signed by the German Major studio UFA after their major rival, Tobis, had decided she had insufficient star appeal. Her next film To New Shores established Leander as the leading star in Germany.
