Sissi...Forever My Love
1962
Directed by Ernst Marischka
Romy Schneider became a star while still in her teens thanks largely to the Sissi films, a trio of confectionary features made between 1955 and 1957 about the Austrian-Hungarian royal family. Portions of all three films were edited together for this 1962 epic, which follows the romantic hurdles faced by Franz Josef, the young Emperor of Austria, and his beloved Sissi (Schneider), the sister of a Bavarian princess. Dubbed in English. 140 minutes.
What a wonderfull movie it is. .........Sissi was "the people's empress." She lived in the country, loved the simple life, loved animals, horses, was not pretencious. It's that aliveness, that free spirit in her that the prince falls in love with. This movie has so much to offer. It's such a priceless gem! I can so wax eloquent for I don't believe it'll let you down. It's got romance, drama, life lessons...it's a family movie, a chick-flick, a couples' movie. As you walk with Sissi through the various stages in her life you love and embrace her and, by so doing, you love and embrace life itself. The power of Sissi is that she's you...all women long to be Sissi...and all of us, in our own way, can and should aspire to the greatest and loftiest ideals that Sissi did in her lifetime. Regardless of your actual life situation, this movie will empower you to release the hidden "Sissi" in you.
This is a condensed version of the original German language 3-part "Sissi" series produced on one VHS tape. It's dubbed in English but has the original stars: Romy Schneider, Karlheinz Boehm, and Magda Schneider.running time about 141 min.
Note: This is NOT a Disney Movie
