Meet me at Cassiopeia m. intro v. Niels Henrik Hartvigson

An operetta is in difficulty due to a romantic dispute between the composer (Hans Kurt) and his wife (Lily Broberg), who is also the star of the show. Unable to finish the operetta, he invokes Polyhymnia (Bodil Kjer), the Greek mythological muse for song, who manifests herself to him. But Polyhymnia has more at heart than musical inspiration. With an appetite for men and fashion, this muse is a striking mix of headstrong teenager and a champion of free love, wreaking havoc wherever she comes. Her father Zeus (Johannes Meyer) also arrives on Earth to get to grips with his daughter.
With this film, Kai Norman Andersen cemented his position as Danish film's most successful film composer — and the film's songs 'Musens sang', 'The very last dance', 'Da Titina went to the ball' and 'Go out and go for a walk' have all achieved classic status.
