Say It with Music (Swedish: Säg det i toner) is a 1929 Swedish musical film directed by Edvin Adolphson and Julius Jaenzon and starring Håkan Westergren, Elisabeth Frisk and Stina Berg.[1] It was shot at the Råsunda Studios in Stockholm with a soundtrack added in a Berlin studio that had been converted to sound. The film's sets were designed by art director Vilhelm Bryde. It came during the switch from silent to sound film and lacks any dialogue. It was one of three Swedish films released that year that including some element of sound, and came at a time when film production was in crisis with no films released during the first nine months of 1929.[2] It is also known by the English-language alternative title The Dream Waltz.
