Watching this video,or,more accurately,trying to watch it,has to be one of the worst disappointments I’ve ever encountered on home video. The performances,photography,writing,and direction are absolutely first class. But the manufacturers of the video should be ashamed of themselves for releasing the film in this condition–the soundtrack (at least on this print) has deteriorated horrendously—it has the worst sound of any 1930’s movie I have ever seen.Entire syllables are inaudible; the sound fades in and out like a bad shortwave radio connection.The bad quality of the sound has to be heard to be believed,and what’s even worse,the music track seems relatively unaffected-only the dialogue suffers. The box proudly proclaims that the subtitles in this French film have been digitally improved. One wonders why they didn’t pay more attention to the sound. I hope that there are better prints of this 1936 “Mayerling” ( long unseen on television-especially since the 1968 English-language remake) still around. If not,and if that is one of the reasons it hasn’t turned up on TV,then it is one of the great tragedies of film preservation.

Mayerling doesn’t deserve this treatment. Boyer (who I’m not a big fan of) is in his element as the domineering, passionate prince. Darrieux is exquisite as his lover. And the director Litvak does a stunning creative job of placing the camera just so, whether at an intimate beergarden or the royal opera. But…the transfer to this VHS tape is awful. Long sections are out of focus, the whole film is muddy and scratched, and half of the subtitles are below the screen. A great film, but please do not buy the wretched copy offered here.
