Trivia
Sissi (1955) was filmed in some original places the Empress visited, including Schönbrunn Palace and the Kaiservilla in Bad Ischl. The scenes of her youth on Lake Starnberg, however, were actually filmed at Schloss Fuschl at Lake Fuschl in the Salzkammergut region because Possenhofen Castle was in a poor condition at the time. The wedding celebration was filmed at St. Michael's Church, Vienna.

Quotes
Emperor Franz Josef: I love Sissy and she has my fullest confidence. Of course, she is lovely. Everybody she meets finds her completely fascinating and, especially, the men! But, Sissy is no Catherine of Russia. Sissy is the truest, purest and most honest person I know.

Condensed version is not worth watching

This condensed re-release version of the Sissi trilogy, included in the Blu-ray Sissy collection, is very poorly transferred in this recent Blu-ray version as a bonus DVD. Unless you can't stand to hear the German language and/or read English subtitles, you should stay away from this film.

The trilogy in this collection is beautifully transferred in German with English subtitles. You can watch the three films in the original aspect ratio of 1.37:1 or the matted one of 1.78: 1 which removes a small portion on the top and bottom of the frame. The audio has been enhanced to Dolby digital 5.1.

The Sissy movies are a romanticized biography of the empress and a little "schmalzy" but still fun to watch. In any case Romy Schneider was at her most beautiful.
