Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times No one with an undeveloped appreciation for brooding irony had better see Mayerling at all. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Phil Hall Film Snobbery Visually opulent but emotionally inert. Rated: 2/5 Jan 7, 2011 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Mostly a pretty bore -- enlivened by bizarre casting and amusingly stilted dialogue. Rated: 3/5 Aug 15, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

S R I appreciated it for its fine costumes, filming locations and better story lines than the previous two versions. It could've been much better despite my adoration of the actors. RUS Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Janine W Brilliant old film, loved the characters and the music is so atmospheric Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Magnificent, that's it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Based on true story which makes it more interesting. Two beautiful actors and the music score is lovely. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member from a newspaper DVD offer Seems to me av version of Romeo and Juliet Omar SHariff is slighly overacting in this movie .Excellent everything Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A drab costume affair not helped by a poor script that fails to engage, none of the big names can do much with it. It doesn't help that the period of history portrayed (unless you are Austrian or Hungarian) is not that interesting either. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
