Hopefully this won't give it away: the actress who shares the composer's last name starred opposite William Holden.

If Holden partnered one of the Marx brothers, it could be Der Herbstsymfonie?

Viteslav Novak it is, a Czech composer who was an almost exact contemporary of Strauss. The piece about the weather is The Storm, and the actress is blonde bombshell Kim Novak, who starred in Vertigo and The Picnic (with Holden), among others.

Once again, some new to my ears music that I'll look for.
We (myself included) seem to have more success with the clues part than actually recognizing the clips.  This may be familiar to someone:   Not an obscure composer, but from a lesser-known work.
