Not really a film, but probably the only screen portrayal of the Sixtus Affair (unfortunately paired with an episode in which Indy is shone sympathizing with some Russian Communists).
This movie doesn't even qualify as one of my Top Ten Best Worst Films Ever, but I have to admit that just seeing the Austro-Hungarian style uniforms made this stupid very boring psychological movie almost worth watching.
 
My complaint to the makers of the film is "you had all the uniforms, you seriously couldn't make a good film?"
Anyway, does anyone have other good films with Austria-Hungary or the Holy Roman Empire that I can add to my "must-watch list"?
(Oh, I almost forgot that Christmas Classic the 1955 Sissi Trilogy. Anything else?) |

Does the Sound of Music count? It's not technically set in Austria-Hungary, but it does have our favorite U-Boat Kapitan, so sure. Have you seen Die Trapp Familie, the original Austro-German Film? In some scenes you can almost match it up with The Sound of Music.

Not sure from whence it comes, but found a nice film version of the funeral of Prince Rudolf von Habsburg.

Day of the Siege is a superb film. It's one best films I have seen in a while.

She's dying from breast cancer, and Blessed Marco heals her. Well, it was God working through Marco.

Speaking of which, has anyone seen this video?
