Bavarian girl Elisabeth (Romy Schneider), who's known as "Sissi," is a naive teenager raised by Duke Max (Gustav Knuth) and Duchess Ludovika (Magda Schneider). Sissi's sister, Nene (Uta Franz), is due to marry Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph (Karlheinz Böhm). On the way to the wedding, however, the emperor and Sissi accidentally meet, and the two fall for each other. They cancel the arranged marriage and decide to wed, even if that means dealing with Franz Joseph's infuriated mother.

Kenneth R. Morefield Christianity Today It's fascinating to contrast these films with the darker (literally and thematically) post-war offerings of the Italian neorealists that were produced only a few years earlier. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 23, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Simplicity of plot lends to its charm Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well done I just wish they had another episode including her death as she was murdered by Luigi Luchenian in 1898 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I guess I really liked it more just to look at the scenery and dresses and castle. It was very pretty. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Since my childhood I love it. It is also a classic during Christmas season. Wonderful set dressing and costumes.
