We're Dancing on the Rainbow (German: Wir tanzen auf dem Regenbogen, Italian: Senza veli) is a 1952 German-Italian musical melodrama film directed by Carmine Gallone and Arthur Maria Rabenalt and starring Inge Egger, Isa Barzizza and Karl Schönböck.^[1] It was shot at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome and the Bavaria Studios in Munich and on location around Naples and Pompeii. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Ledersteger, Ernst Richter and Gastone Medin.

Synopsis

In Naples, chemistry student Gino becomes so distracted by the musical theatre revue troupe staying at his boarding house that he fails his exam. However Edith, the theatre's secretary, discovers that he has a great talent as a singer and persuaded her boss to hire him. A tour in Germany launches Gino as a popular star. Edith is in love with the young Italian, but his eye is entirely for the company's diva, soubrette Jeannette. When Gino is wrongly accused of theft it is Edith, rather than the selfish Jeanette, who clears him.
