Dancing Vienna (German: Das tanzende Wien) is a 1927 German silent comedy film directed by Frederic Zelnik and starring Lya Mara, Ben Lyon and Alfred Abel. A sound version was also prepared in 1928 by First National Pictures for release in the United States. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc Vitaphone process. The film's art direction was by Andrej Andrejew, Ferdinand Bellan and Erich Kettelhut. It was shot at the Staaken Studios in Berlin and on location in Vienna. It was one of several prototypes of the Heimatfilm made by Zelnik in the 1920s.[1] The film was intended as a loose sequel to Zelnik's The Blue Danube (1926).
