Spring on Ice (German: Frühling auf dem Eis) is a 1951 Austrian musical comedy film directed by Georg Jacoby and starring Eva Pawlik, Herta Mayen and Hans Holt.[1] It is set around the Vienna Ice Revue. The film was shot using Agfacolor at the Soviet-controlled Rosenhügel Studios in Vienna. The film's sets were designed by the art director Julius von Borsody.
