Romance of Ida (1934) watch online

Romance of Ida (Hungarian: Ida regénye) is a 1934 Hungarian comedy film directed by Steve Sekely, starring Gábor Rajnay, Irén Ágay, and Pál Jávor. It is based on a novel by Géza Gárdonyi and was shot at the Hunnia Studios in Budapest. The film's sets were designed by the art director Márton Vincze.

When it premiered, an unknown critic enthusiastically praised the film in the pages of Nyugat: “Finally, the first Hungarian film that passes the test of objective criticism. The film still stumbling a little as it says what it must say, but it says it—because it knows—and thus it can advance to a higher class. At last, the first Hungarian film that can be Hungarian because it is Hungarian from within, and because from within— it is art… Irén Ágai, with her simplified yet captivating performance, already stands on the Hollywood Olympus… Pál Jávor: the marble statue had a few plaster parts here and there as well… The magnificent direction is the work of István Székely…”

The film is also referred to as My Wife the Miss.
