by Violetta's prediction that she is to become a queen, Eugénie
heads for Paris, accompanied by her mother and their servant Juan de
Ayala. The latter uses his seductive charms to persuade a team of
seamstresses to make a grand dress for Eugénie, so that she may
attend a ball at the Tuileries, hosted by Napoléon III.
Naturally, Eugénie wins the heart of the French emperor, but in doing so she
makes a dangerous enemy in her rival Madame de Pierrefeu. Once
Eugénie has been installed as empress, Madame de Pierrefeu swears
that she will have her revenge...

User Comments
A film of great visual and audible beauty; the cast was superb. If history
was bent, I do not think anyone minded. When you saw the movie,
for hours afterwards life felt good and full of promise.
