‘Last Waltz of Vienna’ Wins Best Screenplay at Winter Film Awards


Winter Film Awards received over 100 screenplays submissions for the 2013 festival.

The outstanding “Last Waltz of Vienna” was awarded Best Screenplay at the March 2 2013 Awards Ceremony.

Based on a true story, “Last Waltz of Vienna” is the story of a young chemist is drafted by Nazis to control the assets of Sigmund Freud after Hitler’s army overruns Austria in 1938. But after becoming the unwitting subject of Freud’s psychoanalysis, the chemist disobeys orders, hides assets and pulls off Freud’s daring escape on the Orient Express. “Last Waltz of Vienna” captures not only the cultural beauty of Vienna and the brutality that forever marred it but, more importantly, tells the compelling story of two men, political opposites, who leaned on each other to survive.
