A filmed operetta with the usual suspects Luis Mariano and Carmen Sevilla.
Violetta (Sevilla) is a modest Spanish singer who meets future Empress Eugenie de Montijo .A fortune teller reveals to Eugenie she will be "more than a queen" .A couple of years later,Eugenie marries Napoleon the Third and calls Violetta to be her lady -in -waiting.In Paris ,she falls in love with Eugénie's cousin (Mariano) but he would marry only a lady of high birth.Fortunately there are conspirators in France and Eugenie is in jeopardy.And of course Violetta would give her life for her sovereign.
Forget French history,and if you like operettas ,you will enjoy stuff like this.If you don't ,rent "Woodstock" or "Gimme Shelter" instead.
