Congress of Love

Congress of Love or The Congress Amuses Itself (French: Le Congrès s'amuse, German: Der Kongreß amüsiert sich) is a 1966 historical comedy film directed by Géza von Radványi and starring Lilli Palmer, Curd Jürgens and Hannes Messemer. It was produced as an international co-production between Austria, France and West Germany. It was shot at the Sievering Studios in Vienna and on location across the city at Hofburg Palace, Schönbrunn Palace, and the Prater. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hertha Hareiter and Otto Pischinger. It takes place at the Congress of Vienna in 1814, the same setting for the classic Weimar era 1931 film Congress Dances. It features many of the leading delegates to the Congress, with the exception of the British representative Lord Castlereagh.
