In the Little House Below Emauzy (Czech: V tom domecku pod Emauzy) is a 1933 Czech musical drama film directed by Otto Kanturek and starring Adina Mandlová, Antonín Novotný and Ferdinand Hart. It is based on the 1911 operetta Alt-Wien
which used melodies by Joseph Lanner (1801–1843).[1] A separate German-language version The Happiness of Grinzing was also produced. Such multiple-language versions were common during the early years of sound film. It was shot at the Barrandov Studios in Prague with sets were designed by the art director Bohumil Heš . Whereas the operetta and the German version were set in Vienna, this film takes places place close to the Emmaus Monastery in the Czech capital during the nineteenth century.
