Mozart is a 1955 Austrian drama film directed by Karl Hartl and starring Oskar Werner, Johanna Matz and Gertrud Kückelmann.[1] It is also known by the alternative title The Life and Loves of Mozart. It was entered into the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.[2] The plot explores the mental state of Mozart during production of his final opera The Magic Flute.
