Ball of Nations (German: Ball der Nationen) is a 1954 West German musical comedy film directed by Karl Ritter and starring Zsa Zsa Gabor, Gustav Fröhlich and Claudine Dupuis.[1] It was shot at the Wiesbaden Studios in Hesse and on location around the town. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Alfred Bütow and Ernst Schomer. It was not a success at the box office and was director Ritter's last film, after a plan to remake Pandora's Box fell through and he retired to Argentina.[2]
