Famous Habsburgs in movies/plays/cartoons

I have not yet recieved my copy of "Elisabeth Von Österreich", starring Lili Dagover as the Empress for the first time, yet my friend said it was not that good... Ah well, will have to wait until I recieve my copy.

I recently saw Ludwig II with Ruth Leuwerik as Elisabeth

Sissi on her deathbed at Beau Rivage after the attack

[Eric_Lowe]

I think that was a movie.

[Carolath Habsburg]

actually ,thats from thr firts movie about sisi in 1921. One scene of that movie appears in some book as elisabeth post mortem image

[Imperial_Grounds]

It is from a movie, yes, they used it in the documentary Elisabeth: Enigma of an Empress...

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. After years people thought it was a news reel rather than an reanctment.

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Indeed, it's from Sissi's first movie. I really want to see it... has anyone seen it or knows if it is available?

[Eric_Lowe]

No idea...Is it on youtube ?

[Imperial_Grounds]

It can be watched in Austria, in some kind of museum... I have parts of it in a documentary.... There's the yellow domino-episode(also covered in the new series, but totally incorrect), her assassination(filmed at the Beau Rivage).... Don't know if there is more.

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

I must try to search it at you tube... it's impossible for me to go to Austria in the near future... anyways... wich kind of museum? (Hofburg or Schonbrun?)

[Carolath Habsburg]

Brian Aherne as Maximilian (i think he looks flawless!)

Neither I believe. I'd have to rewatch the documentary for that, I'll get back on that later.

Brian Aherne as Maximilian (i think he looks flawless!)

Certainly. Bette Davis was simply stunning as Carlotta/Charlotte... Wish they'd release it on DVD

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Mexican soap opera from 1965 with the argentinian actor Guillermo Murray as Emperor Maximilian and María Valdez (if I'm not wrong) as Empress Charlotte

[Eric_Lowe]

She looked more like Sisi...

[Imperial_Grounds]

Exactly my thoughts
