Skinopsis

The gorgeous duo of Charles Boyer and Danielle Darrieux first appeared on-screen together almost twenty years before The Earrings of Madame de... , in this sumptuous tragic romance from Anatole Litvak (The Snake Pit, Anastasia). Mayerling is the profoundly emotional true story of the doomed adulterous affair between Archduke Rudolph, heir to the Austrian throne, and the young and innocent baron's daughter Marie Vetsera.

Review

The passion and agony of two doomed lovers is explored in this sumptuous true story which stars Boyer as the Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria who falls under the trance of the stunningly beautiful Darrieux. A shimmering romance that sadly, yet inevitably, leads to tragedy. (French with English subtitles)
