Trivia
In real life, the coronation of Joseph and Elisabeth (Sissi) took place in the Castle of Buda in 1867. However, they couldn't shoot the scene in Buda when this movie was made because the castle was seriously damaged during WWII. Furthermore, there was a revolution in Hungary against the Soviet regime in 1956. This made it impossible to shoot the scene at its original location.

Goofs
During the ball scene with the Hungarians the "Emperor Waltz" by Johann Strauß Jr. is played. This waltz was released in 1889. The scene however takes place in 1854/5.

Quotes
Count Andrassy: Since the time of Maria Theresa the Hungarian nation has waited from generation to generation for a human being in this Imperial House. Someone to trust, someone worth living for, and someone worth dying for. We didn't come to see the Emperor of Austria today, but to see our future Queen!

Good Enough

Princess Sissi pretty much follows the well known story of the Austrian monarch, with few unpredictable moments and some unwelcome comedy acts. But, overall, it isn't a bad movie and the settings were breathtaking.
