All those within scrutiny were sworn to life secrecy by the Emperor Franz Joseph, who issued the fiat that the pair had committed double suicide, and the incident was the subject of an official dossier inflammable enough to be excluded finally from the State archives. In the less combustible medium of celluloid, the Mayerling mystery is simplified into a classic denouement to a beautiful friendship...
