What it’s about. Mayerling is the name of a notorious Austrian village linked to a romantic tragedy. At a royal hunting lodge there, in 1889, Crown Prince Rudolf--desperate over his father's command to put away his teenage mistress, the Baroness Marie Vetsera--shot her to death and killed himself. The misfortune may indeed have been a murder-suicide, but perhaps it was a political assassination, or even the result of a lunatic family vendetta: scholarship is still catching up with the facts.
Who’s in it. Mayerling stars Audrey Hepburn as Countess Marie Vetsera, Mel Ferrer as Crown Prince Rudolph, Raymond Massey as The Prime Minister and Basil Sydney as The Emperor Franz Joseph, among others.
How it landed. With an audience score of 5.4/10, Mayerling has proved divisive with audiences.
