Gustave Grundgens plays Count Metternich and Edwin Juergensen plays Tallyrand, both play political advisers to Napoleon .They are arranging a marriage for him to Archduchess Marie Louis,In Austria, played by Paula Wessley to stave of another war between Austria and France. He asks Franz ,duke of Modena,played by Wili Forst, to go to her fathers estate, Emperor Franz the first, played by Franz Herterich, Who played the theatrical director in Burg theater,1936, to inform the emperor's family and her Marie, being that he's a relative of theirs too. But it fouls up a bit when Franz falls in love with Marie.This was before Willi Forsrt organized his Vienna film production . I got the feeling that he was short and was wearing high shoes to be taller than Wessley. Maria Koppenhofer shows up again as the mother of Napoleon.This was done is almost a Vanity fair,Becky sharp,Thakaray style.Napoleon does not show up until near the end at the wedding.no propaganda neither
