Costume Commentary
I will once again watch the Sissi Trilogy, as it always airs on Christmas in Germany. This time on RTL (yes the ones who made Sisi 2021) and on Christmas Eve. I guess it’s because they are classics and it’s Sisi’s birthday.
And I think I would have categorized these costumes similarly.
Love the Sissi trilogy! It’s so lovely! Enjoy!
My grandma loved to watch it simply because of the pretty dresses. I also love how quite a few were reuses of Ernst Marischka’s earlier movie Mädchenjahre einer Königin (Victoria in Dover) which also starred Romy Schneider and her mother Magda Schneider in the leading roles. I wonder what happened to the dresses afterwards. Marischka only made three more movies, of which two are period dramas. However one is already set in the 1820s while I can’t date the other one but I would say either late 1800s or early 1900s. Neither really matching with either Victoria in Dover or Sissi‘s style.
I love Victoria in Dover! I am sure some of the costumes must be around, though maybe we would have found them. I’ve never seen any come up for auction.
I was looking at a very bad copy of Das Dreimädlerhaus (The House of the Three Girls) – a movie made by Marischka one year after the third Sissi movie – on Youtube yesterday and well there is at least one dress in the audience which I’m pretty sure is worn by Archduchess Sophie in the second movie but the resolution is horrible and I can’t really get a screencap of it. Maybe one day I can find the movie in a better quality and go through it.
Oooooooh, thank you!
I just found out that I can rent it on Youtube officially and judging by the preview that quality is actually decent. Already spotted a second one in a trailer I saw. Oh well, I know what I will do next week after my university assignment is handed in. This weekend will be full on Eras Tour 2.0 movie, Eras Tour documentary and the Mozart/Mozart series release for me, where I will look out mostly for reused props since its the same team as Sisi (2021) and they also shot in the same Latvian studio. I wouldn’t be surprised if they reused the Hofburg sets. But I’ll see at midnight.
Good luck with the assignment! And have a great Taylor Swift themed weekend!
My favorite holiday movie is Red One (2024) i cant wait for Christmas Eve be with my parents this year…
I haven’t seen it, but I will check it out! Have fun with your parents!
Thanks, have good holiday too you and your family
