Premiere is a 1937 Austrian musical crime film directed by Géza von Bolváry and starring Zarah Leander, Attila Hörbiger and Karl Martell. The wealthy backer of a Viennese musical revue is murdered on the first night of the show. It was Leander's 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.

Synopsis

Le commissaire Helder accompagne sa mère à la première d'une nouvelle revue. Dans les coulisses, où l’excitation est à son comble, il lui présente quelques collaborateurs du théâtre, comme le Dr. Seebauer. Puis il tombe sur Lucky, un repris de justice, à qui il conseille de se tenir tranquille. En coulisse, on s'affaire aux derniers préparatifs. Les danseuses bavardent sur le fait que l’ex-star Lydia Loo n'a pas eu de rôle dans la pièce. Pendant ce temps, Lydia crie à Frank, le directeur du théâtre, qu'elle ne va pas se laisser traiter ainsi impunément. Le directeur a beau protester de son admiration pour la comédienne et de son impuissance face aux choix de production : Lydia affirme qu'elle sait de source sûre que le producteur Rainold a cherché à l'écarter et que Frank ne pouvait ignorer que cela ferait scandale que Rainold lui préfère une jeunesse, Carmen Daviot. Rainold entre alors dans la pièce, et Lydia le menace d'une arme. Un acteur, Fred Nissen, s'interpose, désarme l'actrice et la fait sortir de la pièce. Rainold exige de Frank qu'il retire son rôle à Nissen car il ne peut supporter ce comédien.

Nicki and Vicki, two librettists who also happen to be brothers, are presently in collaboration with composer Toni. All too aware of Toni's amorous escapades, Nicki and Vicki try to keep the existence of their pretty sister Hedi a secret. Suffering from an acute case of writers' block (he has yet to find an inspiration for his next production), Toni throws a huge party, which is boycotted by his friends and associates so that he'll keep his mind on his work. The only guest who does show up is uninvited — and surprise, that guest is sweet little Hedi, who turns out to be inspiration enough for ten operettas.
