Mayerling
Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria and his father, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, disagree about how to make their country more progressive. Rudolf soon feels like he was born at the wrong time in a country that doesn't understand the need for social reform. The Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII of Britain, adds some humor. Rudolf escapes his unhappy marriage to Princess Stéphanie by having an affair with Baroness Maria Vetsera. Their untimely death at Mayerling, the hunting lodge of the imperial family, is a mystery.
