Dagover is a regent suffering through a forced political marriage, the suicides of both her son and her lover, and finally her assassination by an anarchist. Lavishly shot in Austrian locations, the film is almost too complex to follow without a knowledge of 19th-century Central European
politics. Lil Dagover is best remembered today as the sleepwalker's victim in THE CABINET OF DOCTOR CALIGARI.
