Review of The Story of Vickie

The mom and daughter team associated in real life with Adolf Hitler starred in a series of German language films by Ernst Mariskha which still hold up today.In 1954 Magda was governess to England's Queen Victoria played by Romy told against her will to marry on her eighteenth birthday. Her mom has arranged a marriage with the prince of the kingdom of southern France in the early nineteenth century Orange. The governess is talked into by Victoria's closest political ally Lord Melbourne to help him see Victoria should marry the Prince of Saxony, Albert of Saxe Coburg The delightful story of how the two meet accidentally under false pretenses away from royal trapping to fall in love is the center of this delightful film done through European not English point of view. The photography and acting are glorious though the reason this film is not a perfect 10 is the royal trapping of the British royal residences seem in the director's eyes more truly European than English.
