The real stars of this historic tragedy are without question Charles Boyer and Danielle Darrieux, a French star who is not at all well known in North America. Be ready for the appearance of many great actors such as Omar Sharif, Caterine Deneuve, Ava Gardner, James Mason and more... It is based on the Mayerling incidents, but some facts are definitely NOT accurate. The film had a big budget with the costumes, sets, everything about it on a very grand scale. Despite all this, the film didn't please me as much as I thought it would. Perhaps the direction of Terrence Young had something to do with it, but that is just a supposition. This immense feature didn't hit home as I had expected.
