Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Visual and Musical Delight) 『I saw the 1968 version of Mayerling in April of 1969 at a base theater while I was in basic training in the Air Force. I note this because the subject of the film and its well-dressed actors and its European scenery were so different from the military surroundings and military "dress" which I was enduring at the time. I had not heard about the story of Prince Rudolph and Princess Maria before. But suspected Mayerling's tragic ending from the start, but I think it did take the film a long time to reach its conclusion. However, I believe Mayerling was a visual delight and the musical score was beautiful too. The cast was excellent with Omar Sharif and Catherine Deneuve along with Ava Gardner and James Mason. To many the story of these tragic lovers seemed unbelievable and some criticized the dresses the women wore as too 1960's in style. I did not notice this. I have n't seen Mayerling in over thirty years and I think I will buy my own DVD and see it again. Seeing this film again will remind me of what I was doing when I first saw it, as I think many films and popular music do for many people.』
(Saturated With Khachaturian's Best Music&Entertaining Too!) 『IN A NUTSHELL: A FILM WORTH SEEING&HEARING
This seems to be one of those movies that is either loved, hated or ignored by movie fans. Interestingly, most of the reviews I have seen make mostly relevant points both pro and con. Nevertheless, I do admit feeling some very tugging emotions during many parts of the movie and not just the romantic interludes between the Grand Duke and his very charming young mistress "Maria Vetsera" played by Catherine Deneuve. There is a sense of real urgency between "Grand Duke Rudolf" played by Omar Sharif and his father "Emperor Franz Josef" played by a convincing James Mason. A "wall" has been built between the two and the Grand Duke makes it clear to his all powerful sulking father that it will be up to him [the Emperor] to remove it. A task perhaps to great for even the all powerful. I find myself wishing for this universal issue between this father and son to be resolved and its possible historic importance only adds to the urgency.
OKAY - THERE ARE SOME ODDITIES ABOUT MAYERLING
Nevertheless, although there is much good to be said for the movie as a whole, it does contain some very difficult to take flaws. Casting aside, the wardrobe department made itself very obvious in the choice of eyeshadows, blushes and hairdos that are right out of the 1960s. This emphasis on the 1960's howwever only affects the women so they seem a bit out of place when they are seen typically with uniformed high ranking officials whose wardrobe is very accurately right out of antiquity. This is a needless distraction that detracts from the exquisitely time perfect sets that are genuine in most respects. Also, Ava Gardner [Empress Elizabeth] seems out of place and there is a mix of foriegn and English actors that are for better or worse ample and very correctly attired.
AH: BUT THE MUSIC BY KHACHATURIAN
The entire film is lifted quite a bit by the very appropriate and well timed saturation of Khachaturian's Best Music from the ballet Spartacus. Most of it sounds like variations from the Adagio movement which is one of the most longing and romantic orchestral overtures ever written and very strongly suggestive of the last vestages of the Holy Roman Empire and this doomed romance which is of course the setting for the entire film.

BOTTOM LINE:
Sentimental and very compelling period piece with great personalities brought to the screen by great actors. The tone set by Khachaturian's Spartacus [Adagio Movement] recurs thematically throughout the film and seems just perfect for the bittersweet mood of this tragic romance.
』
(Great film!) 『James Mason is as handsome as ever. It's a really well worth seeinf film. I highly recommend it.』
(Not Perfect, But Vastly Entertaining) 『I have been told that the French predecessor of this film is better, but I don't see how. The compelling true story of the downfall of the Hapsburg family is recounted here with an emphasis on the personal tragedy of Prince Rudolph. Here is a man trapped in a loveless marriage, domineered by his tyranical father, deprived of the love of a mother who tries to dazzle everyone, caught in the uprisings of democratic politics, and addicted to cocaine to dismiss his pain. To add to his personal pain, he meets a beautiful, penniless noblewoman, whose family is basically out of favor, and falls hopeless in love. The politics, the personal manipulation, the suffering of the lovers is beautifully presented by MGM in their grand style. Sharif may not be the optimal Rudolph, but who could be immune to Catherine Deneuve's charm. James Mason is a perfect cold and stern Emperor, and Ava Gardner (miscast) fares adequate as the Emperess. It is James Roberton Justice, who plays the Prince of Wales, who steals the movie. His every scene is a joy. The European character actors who fill out the cast do a fine job, and the story unfolds as the tragic love should. Whether you believe that Rudolph killed his mistress and himself, or that his father had the secret police remove him, you will enjoy this movie. Good musical score too!』
(Schmaltz) 『In early 1889, Crown Prince Rudolph, son of Emperor Franz Joseph and heir to the Hapsburg Empire, took his teenage mistress, Baroness Maria Vetsera, to a hunting lodge called "Mayerling." What happened there has been the subject of a good deal of speculation, but the most popular version is this: That sometime in the early morning hours of January 30th, Rudolph killed Maria with a single shot from his revolver, and then, some hours later, took his own life. How they came to this moment in time is the subject of the film, "Mayerling" which stars Omar Sharif as Rudolph and Catherine Deneuve as Maria.
The film is highly sympathetic to the lovers, portraying them as kindred souls beset by the prejudices and stupidities of everyone around them. Rudolph's liberal political views and Maria's innocence are made much of, and the idea that they were driven to the desperation of a suicide pact is central to the persuasiveness of this film. Unfortunately I have a hard time buying any of it, and perhaps it's partly because I know too much about the real couple and their situation, but I think it's also because the film is so heavy-handed that we feel more bludgeoned than persuaded. Sharif is wooden as Rudolph, but in all fairness some of the lines he's asked to deliver are almost laughable. The Oedipal subtext between Rudolph and his mother, Elizabeth, has no real purpose beyond titillation, and it is frankly difficult to believe in Deneuve as ingénue. Had all the roles been written with more authenticity the story might well have worked as a tragedy, but Terence Young, who apparently drew on the novels of Claude Anet and Michel Arnold to write the screenplay, has taken the easy route here, complete with cardboard villains and people's heroes. Not even James Mason as Franz Joseph or the ravishing Ava Gardner as Empress Elizabeth can propel this particular film out of the category of Bad Romance.
The look of the film owes more to the era in which it was made than that which it seeks to portray. Makeup, hairstyles, even costumes reflect a sixties sensibility which may have put audiences at ease in 1968, but which are jarring today. Frankly, this is one of the things that can really turn me off of a film; I tolerate it in "Doctor Zhivago," but in "Mayerling" it becomes so distracting, that any credibility this film might have had for me goes right out the window whenever I see an actress with overdone, sixties-style eyeliner or lots and lots of hair woven into intricate, sixties-inspired dos. I suggest you give this one a miss unless you're in the mood for some schmaltz.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Perfect Condition) 『I received the VHS tape I ordered in a timely fashion, reviewed it and found it to be in perfect condition as advertised.』
(Author and music lover Laurence) 『This movie does the best job to depict the life of the greatest pianist who will ever live, that being Franz Liszt. While this movie doesn't stick totally to details of the various facets of Liszt's life, it comes close enough to provide valuable insight into this romantic musical genius. Liszt is played by Dirk Bogarde, who doesn't resemble the taller Liszt that much, but he does a remarkable job feigning the playing of the piano pieces that are used in this film. Liszt's affairs with the various women mentioned in this film are fairly accurate. It is too bad it doesn't show the death of Liszt at age 75, who died of pneumonia after riding in a train while a cool night breeze was coming through the window. Liszt was sitting close to a young romantic couple who were enjoying the open window to glance out at the moon, and Liszt didn't want to break their romantic spell to ask them to close the window. This is probably the only movie that will ever come close to capturing the charisma and genius of Liszt, and it is 2 hours of very good entertainment and viewing.』
(SONG WITHOUT END) 『The item was sent as promised, wrapped well and arrive in a timely manner.
Thank you.』
(Transfer to Video and DVD quite imperfect) 『I was really impressed with all the reports I have read on Song Without End. I notice it is not being offered on DVD at present. But I did buy it on Video originally and when I saw I could get it on DVD; a while back I thought it might have improved in quality of sound. Alas; the DVD has the same faults as the Video so obviously no technical re recording was attempted. I am not very versed in the history of Lizst and his affairs and the ones with whom he had his affairs. I mainly was disappointed at some of the technical flaws in the Movie BOTH on Video and then again on DVD. While I realize the Movie was originally probably made on 35 mm for Cinema showing..I want other viewers to look at it again and see the number of places where the sound is quite poor. 1. In One or two of the concerts Lizst's playing is really beautiful. BUT when the audience applauds him it is like the applause is off some where in another room. Notice the variation in sound. 2. When Lizst visits his Mother the first time notice when Lizst speaks the sound is perfect but when his mother speaks it is like she is off some place else. I found it to be the same on both Video and DVD so I have no doubt that no effort was made in transferring from Tape to DVD to enhance some of the troublesome spots where sound failed. I wish I was more up on the truth of the real Lizst as some other writers were but as far as the technical side of the Movie I was disappointed in several areas.』
(If only the song WOULD end...) 『Get this straight before coming any closer: this is NOT a documentary on Franz Liszt. The Hollywood goons must have been flipping through a book of musicians' biographies (ooh! tormented, soul-searching MUSICIANS!), incidentally stumbling onto Liszt's particularly marketable name. Knowing professionals respect the name, aware that the revolutionary pianist-composer's profound contributions to 19th century music are to be taken seriously. The aforementioned goons, however, took their cue from some funny sentences about Marie D'Agoult, Carolyne Wittgenstein, George Sand, and a few other candidates for good close-ups. (What's this? Liszt had affairs with... oh, mhm... I'll write that down, and we can just...) Disregarding the consideration for extensive research, these very goons thereby set out to leave a greasy, black stain on one of history's great legacies. Liszt is portrayed as a silly, red-faced, chortling British man, with short wavy hair, a dogged disposition, and --most importantly of all-- a lusty appetite for the prettified, warbling, melodramatic Russian Princess. In reality, Carolyne Wittgenstein was a sloppy, chain-smoking, obsessive woman, but Hollywood would have none of that. (Oh, sure! we'll just leave out this, and we can pretend that she...) Other goodies are thrown in; Countess D'Agoult glares teary-eyed at us from around every corner; near the beginning of the movie, Chopin, made into a cherubic bon vivant, drops in to see his ol' pals, bringing with him George Sand, who appears to be wearing a magician's outfit- tophat, cape, and all; with them, and to remain a nuisance for the rest of the film, is plump, stupid "Votan", Liszt's "eternally devoted manager"; Liszt's crone mother hobbles around in a dim hut, offering her piano to a mob of torch-wielding Hungarian peasants. It goes on... the story of Liszt's concert career is all the time exploited, to show off the makeup and comstumes, with a soundtrack that is bittersweet at best; Jorge Bolet provided the piano solo work, the 'sweet' part of the equation. The 'bitter' shows up in ridiculously orchestrated bits of Liszt's popular stuff: "Un Sospiro", "Libestraume", etc. Not only does the (originally great) music take a turn for the worse... The acting is laughable, the casting abominable, the script methodically crafted to cram in as much disgusting sentimentality as possible.
STAY AWAY FROM IT!』 『Fifteen years after directing the florid and commercially successful Chopin bio-pic, the 1945A Song to Remember, director Charles Vidor headed up this lush, Technicolor production about Franz Liszt--only to die a few weeks into shooting and be replaced by George Cukor. (Cukor insisted the credit remain with Vidor, and indeed there is little of Cukor's touch visible in this film.)Song Without Endstars Dirk Bogarde as Liszt, and while the actor's stints at the piano are effectively dubbed by Jorge Boyet, the story really concerns the composer's entangled love life. Much, much less flamboyant than Ken Russell'sLisztomania,Song Without Endis, in its own way, just as indulgent, extravagantly presuming that love is the major inspiration for the creation of music. No film about a composer would be complete without a few of his famous contemporaries, andSong Without Endmakes a point of bringing George Sand and Chopin himself to the proceedings. The sets are impressive, and the cinematography is by James Wong Howe.--Tom Keogh』

(NIce movie big lie!) 『Thanks to the almighty God that they finally found the remainder of this poor child and the history of this girl is forever closed! No more speculations!』
(Thoroughly enjoyable!) 『The performances by Bergman and Brynner really escalate this film into greatness. I wish more people would see this. Its such a beautiful and subtle film.』 『Ingrid Bergman gives one of her memorable, haunting, and haunted performances as an amnesiac chosen by a White Russian general (Yul Brynner) in 1928 to play the part of Anastasia, the long-rumored but missing survivor of the Bolsheviks' murderous attack on the czar's family. The twist is that Bergman's mystery woman seems to know more about the lost Anastasia than she is told. Based on the play by Marcelle Maurette and Guy Bolton, this film--directed by Anatole Litvak (Out of the Fog)--really does get under one's skin, not least of all because of its intriguing story but even more because of the strong chemistry between Bergman and Brynner.--Tom Keogh』

FIRST RUN FEATURES
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (It's only in that moment that I've lived...) 『Kjell Grede's "Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg" is a noble but ultimately flawed effort. The story focuses on the efforts of Raoul Wallenberg to save Jews in Budapest during WWII's final days. Although he comes from one of Sweden's wealthiest families, there's nothing outstanding about Raoul. He's an ordinary guy with ordinary talents who hasn't done anything remarkable; as the film begins, he's an importer of luxury foods. But on a train trip, he happens to see Jewish corpses being tossed out of a death camp-bound freight car, and a father, who jumped out of the car to be with his dead son, shot and killed. This experience changes Raoul's life. As he tells the skeptical committee considering him for relief work, it's only in that moment that he feels he's ever actually lived.
Grede's film focuses on the very last days of Wallenberg's Hungarian mission: the exhausting scramble to bribe German and Hungarian officials, racing against the clock to try to save the Jewish ghetto, a dramatic standoff with a Hungarian fascist, despair alternating with hope, and finally Wallenberg's mysterious disappearance into the Soviet Union.
The best moments of the film are when Stellan Skarsgard (Wallenberg) and Katharina Thalberg (Marja) are on-screen. Thalberg is especially good as the Jewish woman whose children have been killed and who refuses to wear anything but a man's overcoat because, when the Germans come to kill her, she wants them to see her naked, as a real person rather than a statistic. Skarsgard, whose acting style is low-key anyway, plays Wallenberg with a subdued intensity that seems just right.
But ultimately, neither Skarsgard nor Thalberg can save the film. The writing tends at times to be melodramatic--ruining, for example, the final confrontation between Wallenberg and the Hungarian fascist. There's too little exposure of Wallenberg's interior, so his motives for risking life and limb to save Jews remain a bit cloudy (despite the "It's only in that moment that I've lived" scene).
Still, the film is worth seeing. It highlights the remarkable efforts of Wallenberg, and it underscores the fact--so easy to forget in our rather cynical age--that every life, no matter how "insignificant," is worth superhuman efforts to save.』
(foreign version of Schindler's List) 『Excellent story with graphic images that put you in Wallenberg's shoes. Incredible man. Incredible story. Must see film for Third Reich buffs.』
(A bit confusing...) 『This movie may be a bit confusing to someone (like me) who does not know the history of Raoul Wallenberg. However, the movie improves upon a second viewing.』
(Didn't Get it) 『Your asking me to review a movie I still have not received. When I get it, I can review it then.』
(Shindler's List is King!) 『Good Evening Mr. Wallenberg has a great premise, but horrible filmmaking. The special effects are cheesy - there's no blood when the people are shot, which is totally bogus. Also, the copy that I received (which is being sold as authentic) is a cheap reproduction of a VHS tape (so it appears). The sound is horrible. The image is pixelated, and it freezes when you try to rewind it. This movie sucks a big doo-doo man! Don't ever, ever, ever in your life compare it to the likes of Steven Spielberg's 'Shindler's List'.』 『On Schindler's List there were hundreds of names.
On Raoul Wallenberg's there were tens of thousands.
"A film of epic ambitions" (The New York Times), Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg chronicles the last days of the war in Budapest. It is a moving and sensitive portrait of internationally known hero, Raoul Wallenberg, a small-scale businessman whose life was transformed after he witnessed bodies being thrown from a train on its way to Auschwitz.
International film star Stellan Skarsgård (Aberdeen, Dancer in the Dark, Good Will Hunting, Amistad, Breaking the Waves, The Hunt for Red October) "is merely perfect" (New York Post) as Raoul Wallenberg, an attache to the Swedish Embassy who moved to Budapest, Hungary in 1944 to help Jews escape Adolph Eichmann's deadly path. Wallenberg saved over 60,000 people in Budapest's Jewish ghetto by helping them escape Hungary with Swedish papers ("Wallenberg passports"), or getting them placed in protective housing. His greatest challenge came in 1945, when he saved the lives of some 65,000 Jews in the ghetto by forcing the hand of theGerman general responsible for their fate. On January 17, 1945, Wallenberg was taken to Moscow as a Soviet prisoner. He was never released, and his fate has remained a mystery.』

(Bon Voyage) 『THE STORY: This Walt Disney live action movie stars Fred MacMurray as Harry Willard, Jane Wyman as his wife Deborah, Tommy Kirk and Kevin Corcoran as their sons Elliott and Scooter, Deborah Walley as their 18 year old daughter, and her love interest "Nick" is played Michael Callan. Beautiful French scenery, some drama, comedy and romance. Deborah Willard has been planning a trip to Europe by boat for 22 year, and now her husband Harry and 3 kids are finally going. Harry is a very loyal husband, a good father and owns a plumbing contracting business. They take a ship to France, and one the jourey their older children meet some romantic counterparts. They visit Paris and Monte Carlo, and Deborah is preyed upon by a local man until Fred finally punches him out shooting him halfway across the casino after getting unexpectedly drunk. Mr. Willard gets lost in the Paris Subways when his son drags him there for a tour. Elliott is hilarious as he tries different disguises and tricks in order to pick up local girls. A scene that raised eyebrows was when a French call girl attempted to pick up Mr. Willard, and later his unwitting son, (not your typical Disney). Harry has to come to his son's rescue when a local hustler attempts to blackmail the family on false charges that his son Elliott has taken advantage of their young daughter. In the end the parents everyone finally gets what they want form their dream vacation.
BEHIND THE SCENES&TRIVIA: Directed by James Nielson. filmed both on location in Europe and at the Disney Studio. At the studio, a recreation of the Paris sewer where Harry takes a tour and gets lost was filmed. The hotel suites were also created there on the soundstages and interiors of the cruise ship. The outdoor footage on the cruise ship was shot on a real ship, the "S.S. United States" while it was actually en transit to Europe.. But the casino was a real one, the Palm Beach Casino on the French Riviera and the casino staff got to sit in as themselves. Exteriors of the hotels were shot at Salon Kleber. Walt Disney went to Paris to check on the filming of the movie. The opening credit sequence is very entertaining, and was put together by Disney animators Bill Justice and X. Atencio. The titles are faux postcards of Europe, interspersed with footage from actual sites like Paris and Monte Carlo. The jaunty title song is by the Sherman Brothers, after Walt vetoed their slow pretty waltz they offered and requested a more upbeat song like "California Here I Come", but for Europe. This was their fourth film
The film was not well received by critics at the time, but it did well enough with the public. They felt it was too slow and long for starters and there was not enough to keep smaller children interested. It is a little long and goes back and forth in the storyline a few times, clocking in at 2 hours and 10 minutes. It was nominated for two Academy Awards®, one for Best Sound for studio sound veteran Robert Cook, and one for Best Costume Design for Bill Thomas. I think those were for the dresses worn by Jane Wyman in the movie. Emile Curry probably should have gotten a nod for his lavish design of the hotel suites, he was in charge of set design onnearly every Disney movie while Walt was alive. The screenplay was by Bill Walsh, based upon the book of the same title by Marrijane&Joseph Hayes. The film premiered in theatres on May 17, 1962. Almost 8 years later it was shown on the "Wonderful World Of Disney" television show in 3 parts over 3 consecutive Sunday nights, starting on January 11, 1970 and did not air on the show again. It was first released to VHS in 1987, and to DVD in 2007.
It does not appear that Disney re-mastered the film for this DVD, but it was well preserved and has good color for the period, and does not have noticeable scratches or sound problems. However, when we blew it up on a high quality projection system we could see some strange background cross-hatching now and then. It is in full screen mode, but Disney Studios made quite a few films that way during the 1960's. The sound is mono, as originally recorded. There are no extras on the DVD, but I can think of a few from the Disney vault that would have been nice without costing new production dollars. Disney made a series of featurettes on travel called "People and Places" in the 1950's. It would have been nice to see one of these travelogues, and maybe a short cartoon. The film trailer should have been included, and they could have put some trailers in for other films from the period, it would only help them sell more DVD's. Overall, if you are a big Disney fan like me, who appreciates their huge library of lesser known family films I recommend it. But I also recommend that Disney put a bit more effort into their DVD releases for the price. 』
(Not Fred's Best) 『I usually love movies starring Fred MacMurray, but this is an exception. The plot is very slow to develop and did not hold our family's attention very well. BON VOYAGE was surprising because most of our dvds with Fred MacMurray are our very favorites (Follow Me, Boys; Absent-Minded Professor, etc.) I ended up donating this one to a local charity.』
(Was this trip necessary?) 『Draggy family comedy about Americans on vacation abroad wasn't anywhere near top-drawer Disney when it was first released back in 1962--trite, unfunny and decidely kid-unfriendly with its tiresome bickering parents, dreary teen romance subplots and several bizarre un-Disneylike scenes involving drunkeness, a bidet, a French hooker, public urination and even a few mild four-letter words.
It doesn't play any better today in an un-color corrected DVD transfer that frequently makes MacMurray, Wyman and other cast members look like corpses.
One of the biggest live action misfires to be personally overseen by Walt Disney, this DVD edition (with no extras) is a bum trip. Stay home.』
(Good family movie.) 『I love the old movies and Fred McMurray so I enjoyed this though I do think it was longer than it needed to be. I love him lost underground. If you are not into old movies and Disney flicks you probably won't enjoy this.』 『Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 05/25/2004 Rating: Nr』
