I admit I'm sentimental enough to have shed tears when I first watched that in a theater! (My wife had the same reaction.) But the attitude of the director is SO Italian, when he shows the old ladies sobbing away at the end, and thereby pokes fun at THEIR sentimentality (and, by implication, the viewer's sentimentality - if the viewer had a reaction like I did)! That's so funny and so Italian! I don't dare watch it again! ;-)Other Valse triste recordings besides Karajan's I'd recommend are the Paavo Berglund / Philharmonia (EMI - the best of his several performances I think) and the Paavo Järvi / Estonian NSO (Virgin).
