Sissi

The key collaboration between Romy Schneider and Ernst Marischka began with her third film, The Story of Vickie, and continued immediately with A March for the Emperor. It culminated in the Sissi Trilogy, which could have seen at least a fourth film if Romy hadn't been working on other projects in the meantime and if her adolescent hormones hadn't been running riot.

It's such a nice, appealing television production that simply wasn't about sticking to real facts, but rather about supporting a symbol that Austrians can love. And thanks to Romy Schneider, they managed to do just that. Sissi is beautiful to look at, but that's really all. The story itself is just another romance. (08/14/2015)
