Review of Sissi

Sissi (1955)
7/10
A Cinderella for adults
4 August 2020
Now as a grown woman I get to watch an adult Cinderella movie. It was so refreshing to see an old fashioned romance without the nudity or sex scenes I usually fast forward through. No uncomfortable fighting, cussing, yelling, & screaming. In fact, I realized that I was relaxed with a smile throughout the whole movie. How often have you watched a movie that made you feel good inside? And I don't mean just because of a happy ending, I mean the whole movie was a treat to watch. It's a peaceful Christian dream. Sometimes when life gets us down or we're stressed to the maximum, a movie like this is just what we need. All those gorgeous colorful dresses, hair styles, & jewelry! The royal dinner & dance was breathtaking. The long long dinner table with a gleaming white tablecloth, velvet cushioned chairs, shiny silverware, red roses, & champagne glasses. I loved watching the impeccable manners they had back then. The men helped seat the women, bowed & kissed their gloved hands. The women fanning themselves in the corner waiting to be asked to dance. I loved every minute of this movie.
