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 a nice, pleasing television production where the goal wasn't really to stick to the real facts but rather to support a symbol that Austrians can love. And thanks to Romy Schneider, they did just that. Sissi is nice to watch, but that's really all there is to it. The story itself is just another romance. (14.08.2015)
