Lola Montes starring Martine Carol Peter Ustinov
Anton Walbrook Lola Montes , the vivacious courtesan who numbered
Franz Liszt and the King of Bavaria among her lovers, is reduced to exhibiting herself in the circus. Max Ophiils 's glittering portrait of the notorious Lola Montes was savagely cut by nervous producers. The version to be shown tonight in its original wide-screen format is the longest still in existence.
