Sissi (1955)
Country: �ST
Technical: Agfacolor 102m
Director: Ernst Marischka
Cast: Romy Schneider, Karlheinz Böhm, Magda Schneider
Synopsis:
The daughter of the Duke of Bavaria inadvertently catches the eye of the Austrian Emperor, who is on his way to a matchmaking assignation with her elder sister. Unhappily for them both, she is far too much the natural and free-thinking image of her father for her aunt, the dowager Empress.
Review:
Attractively shot on Austrian locations, and lavishly costumed, this was the first, highly successful film in a trilogy devoted to the people's Empress Elizabeth. Its irresistible charm lies in the happy royal romance confronted with the conventional obstacles, though none is so significant as to leave the outcome in doubt, and the broader playing of the minor characters provides quite unnecessary comic relief. Still, Schneider and Böhm make for a handsome couple, and it is wholesome escapism for lovers of royalty.
