The Happiness of Grinzing (German: Das Glück von Grinzing) is a 1933 Czech musical film directed by Otto Kanturek and starring Iván Petrovich, Gretl Theimer and Marion Taal. It was produced in German and several of the cast and crew had recently left Germany following the Nazi takeover there. It was shot at the Barrandov Studios in Prague. The film's sets were designed by the art director Bohumil Hes. A separate Czech-language version V tom domecku pod Emauzy was also shot at the same time. Such multiple-language versions were common during the early years of sound film before dubbing became more widespread.
