The Historical Story
Okay, I knew this movie from my trip to Vienna, Austria and it has been coming to 10 years already. I saw this name through my tour booklet and although I did not visit it, it fascinates me about the history of the Hapsburg that rule the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary.
Back to the story, it's about Crown Prince Rudolf, the only son of Emperor Francis Joseph (or Kaiser Franz Joseph in German). Unfortunately, the latter's conservative các lượt xem tend to clash with the former's liberal views.
His mother, the famous Empress Elizabeth (Sissi) was hardly at trang chủ due to her frequent travelling and was the main inspiration for Rudolf's Liberal views. Also, the Prince of Wales (the future UK's King Edward VII) was also feature in this film and provides comic relief for the movie.
It was a tragic moment because it was allegedly that Rudolf murdered his 17 năm old mistress, Baroness Mary Vetsera and committed suicide afterwards at his hunting lodge in Mayerling.
Okay, I was very touch bởi the film because we may not know exactly what really happen there. It was not until last năm that letters (initially thought to be destroyed hoặc lost) from Mary Vetsera that in which it đã đưa ý kiến that she is preparing to commit suicide alongside Rudolf.
The Acting
The late Omar Sharif captivated everybody with his diễn xuất and he actually play a very convincing Rudolf, his co-star James Mason also portrayed a very good and convincing Emperor Franz Joseph.
Ava Gardner is Sissi and I tình yêu how cool she is in this film, especially her interactions with Rudolf and her husband.
Finally, Catherine Deneuve plays Mary Vetsera and she comes off as very innocent in this film, despite the fact that Vetsera was actually a brunette haired in real-life. But in this film, she's blonde haired.

This romantic saga follows Ross Poldark (Robin Ellis) as he loses his fiancée, the well-bred beauty, Elizabeth (Jill Townsend), to his cousin Francis (Clive Francis). Ross ends up marrying his servant, the unlikely-looking Demelza (Angharad Rees), but his passion for Elizabeth simmers on for years. Set in late 18th century Cornwall, the plot follows Ross Poldark’s attempts to make his derelict tin mines a success.
