Young Indy travels to Austria with his parents where he meets Princess Sophie at a riding stable and falls madly in love when they sneak off for the afternoon. But her parents are furious and forbid them to see each other again. After taking dodgy advice from none other than Sigmund Freud Indy runs off to proclaim his love before leaving forever.
It's sweet but barely holds the attention past the love story. The second half of the movie is inexcusable though as the Jones' travel to Florence where opera composer Giacomo Puccini falls in love with Indy's mother while Henry Jones Sr. is out of town. The following story of 'will she or won't she cheat' is certainly NOT what I want to see while watching an Indiana Jones adventure. There are plenty of crappy soap operas for that kind of stuff. I can't believe that Mike Newell (Goblet of Fire, Donnie Brasco) directed this.
Watch only if your are an Indy completest or a sado-masochist.
