Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSissi (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.

Featured review
Just like DJBS1252, I remember seeing this film in the movies in the early 60's, as a young teenager. I have no idea why a young male teenager such as I was at the time would have come to see this foreign produced, love story in the first place, much less enjoyed it. Nevertheless, I did find it enjoyable, and over the years and years, I somehow always remembered it fondly, despite its obvious flaws. Romy Schneider was adorable and the acting by the two main characters was first-rate. It was shown on Turner Classics on 10/19/17, so perhaps it will appear again. However, years have not been so kind the quality of this film, and I hope there exist better quality prints somewhere. The colors and scenery and wardrobes are vibrant. Too bad there was no hi-def!
