No one with an undeveloped appreciation for brooding irony had better see Mayerling at all. Go to Full Review

Mostly a pretty bore -- enlivened by bizarre casting and amusingly stilted dialogue. Go to Full Review

S R @ScottR 02/25/2024 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 See more 01/09/2016 Magnificent, that's it. See more 12/17/2009 Based on true story which makes it more interesting. Two beautiful actors and the music score is lovely. See more 10/05/2008 from a newspaper DVD offer Seems to me av version of Romeo and Juliet Omar SHariff is slighly overacting in this movie .Excellent everything See more 08/22/2008 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. See more Read all reviews
