VHS Movie Reviews of Mayerling

Movie Review: not very satisified with purchase
Summary: 3 Stars

this cassettee was not clear and sharp as i was led to belive citing a "new video of mayerling " this copy is no better than one i bought a few years ago from notorious "e bay "
sub titles sink below the television picture so losing a lot of story line . so in all, very disapointed
sorryto have to state this but you asked my opinion

Movie Review: mayerling
Summary: 4 Stars

I know the film is from a not to good copy, but it was all reight

Movie Review: A great movie, But an AWFUL transfer
Summary: 1 Stars

Mayerling doesn't deserve this treatment. Boyer (who I'm not a big fan of) is in his element as the domineering, passionate prince. Darrieux is exquisite as his lover. And the director Litvak does a stunning creative job of placing the camera just so, whether at an intimate beergarden or the royal opera. But...the transfer to this VHS tape is awful. Long sections are out of focus, the whole film is muddy and scratched, and half of the subtitles are below the screen. A great film, but please do not buy the wretched copy offered here.

Movie Review: A TRAGIC ROMANCE SET IN AUSTRIA.
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the greatest love stories ever to grace the screen, a bittersweet and poignant romance between a star-crossed Austrian Prince and his adoring mistress. MAYERLING is a touching masterpiece; a poetically tragic romance, the kind of which seem obsolete in movies anymore. Only Boyer could have played the doomed Rudolph so expertly and with such incisive understanding: he becomes the part and gives a majestic portrayal. Darrieux is tender and electric as the sad young woman who chooses death to be with the man she loves. The success of the film lies in its manner, not its matter. There have been many recognition-scenes, such as the one at the ballet where Danielle Darrieux as Marie Vetsera becomes aware that the prince in the royal box is indeed the young man of yesterday's carnival! It was a compliment on Miss Darrieux's acting to remember more scenes involving her than anyone else; her American debut was certainly promising. This in no way detracted from Boyer's brilliant performance as the temptestuous Rudolph which, it suffices to say, is a finished job. The completely excellent cast included Suzy Prim (!)as the comic Countess Larisch, Jean Dax as the glazed-eyed Emperor, Marthe Regnier as the conventional and unsuspecting mother and Debucourt as the implacable spy-director. Directed beautifully by Anatole Litvak.

Movie Review: The Sound track on this film is simply awful.
Summary: 3 Stars

The Sound track on this film is simply awful! I can't understand it. Every aspect of it is superior to the other version that is available except the sound track. The sound levels are all over the place from moment to moment. Whole chunks of dialogue are missing as Boyer's voice disappears for brief moments. This is a great and outrageous distraction. This more expensive version sounds as if it was recorded in a tin cup. I saw the other version, the $12.99 version, and don't remember its sound track being as bad as it is here. The things that bother me about that version were the poor picture quality and the badly placed, frequently off the screen, subtitles. This version is better in those qualities in every way, but the sound track is awful. Other than the bad sound track, this is a well-acted and superior historical romance with a tragic ending.
