What happens

Queen Louise (German: Königin Luise) is a 1957 West German historical drama film directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner and starring Ruth Leuwerik, Dieter Borsche and Bernhard Wicki. It was made at the Emelka Studios (Bavaria Studios) in Munich, with sets designed by the art director Rolf Zehetbauer. It was one of a number of films made during the 1950s that portrayed historical royal Germany in a positive manner. It is similar in theme to the Prussian film genre which had been popular between the two World Wars including two previous films about Louise Queen Louise (1927) and Louise, Queen of Prussia (1931).
