Kuningatar seikkailee

There are just so many German positives at the English royal court. :) Long live the first remake of Romy Schneider's good 1950s career. The original version of The Story of Vickie was made by Jenny Jugo in 1936. I can't help but think this is the kind of movie that, unlike Casablanca, makes me smile all the time. The fireplace scene is unbeatable. "You put in too much wood." "Now you’ve put in too much paper." And to everyone who compares Victoria to Sissi - this was the first film Romy worked with Ernst Marischka, then came A March for the Emperor and the Sissi trilogy was the culmination of their successful collaboration. Surprised? So this is not a concoction. Next time, read the filmographies. (06.02.2009)
