Sisi und der Kaiserkuß

The immature young ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Franz Joseph, was extremely shy around women but (according to this film) was constantly being propositioned, lewdly or otherwise, by ambitious courtesans. When he was finally married to his Empress, the teen-aged Bavarian princess Sisi (Elizabeth), it seems that his relief knew no bounds, for he was now sure that he would never have to think about sex ever again. According to the filmmakers, this is the true history of that marriage. This story is a complete reversal of the romantic legend depicted in the popular 1955 film Sissi, which helped brighten the emerging stardom of Romy Schneider.

Inspecteur Derrick

Oct 16, 1998
Cette série policière met en scène les enquêtes de l'inspecteur Stefan Derrick et de son adjoint Harry Klein dans la ville de Munich. Divers types d'enquêtes y sont entrepris, notamment des cas de mort par assassinat ou encore de complot. Chaque épisode est construit sur un scénario qui s'intéresse à la psychologie des personnes appartenant à l'entourage de la victime. Très souvent, la réponse à l'intrigue posée par le scénario est obtenue à la fin de l'épisode. C'est donc à chaque fois un travail minutieux d'accumulation de déductions et d'étude approfondie de la psychologie des personnages qui est réalisé.
