Editorial Reviews:
|
Indelibly linked to the Mayerling tragedy, the story of Crown Prince Rudolf still evokes mystery and conspiracy, thwarted hopes and unfulfilled love. After entering into an unhappy marriage of convenience, the young heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne begins a fateful affair with the Baroness Mary Vetsera. She, along with the other women who influenced his life, has inspired this sweeping mini-series shot on location in Austria and featuring an illustrious cast that includes Klaus Maria Brandauer, Christian Clavier and Omar Sharif.

Summary: The Crown Prince DVD Review
Comment: A very entertaining and well-crafted film with outstanding production design and costumes. The film involves the life of Prince Rudolf who was the son of Franz Joseph, the emperor of Austria and king of Hungary.

Summary: Historical, yet trampled again
Comment: I was waiting with high hopes till this series was released. Again my hopes were dashed. I agree with other reviewers to the role Brigitte Hamann played (or not played in this case). Vetsera with blond hair, Marie Wallersee with dark hair, Crown Princess Stephanie with dark hair, a portly Kaiser and a sour Empress with the 'wrong' lover. The part I enjoyed was the part of Mitzi Casper.
What happened to Rudolph's relationship with Hungary, his relationship with his Grandmother?? No, they could have made something special and again they failed.

Summary: Lovely to Look At; Three-and-a-half Stars!
Comment: Despite the considerable flaws aptly noted by other reviewers, I enjoyed watching this self-described mini-series, merely for the magnificent costumes and the splendid settings (both interior and exterior). I was thoroughly entertained and did not feel that I had wasted my time. As for the lack of historicity, well, "The Crown Prince" certainly beats Hollywood's "The Illusionist" (which I enjoyed immensely, even though it made an historical mincemeat out of the same Hapsburg era); and the film has inspired me to read more on the subject of this fascinating, tragic, and very dysfunctional royal family, the Hapsburgs.
If your cup of tea is costume drama and you are not too picky about history, "The Crown Prince" will deliver 180 minutes of gorgeosity; and the attention to scenic detail will also explain such minutia as why the Vienna State Opera House has that rather ungainly projected arched facade: It was for carriages to drive under to deliver their elegant charges to the great front doors. One never knows what one might learn from an elegantly produced movie set in such beautiful locations as Vienna and Prague.
