'Tragedy in the House of Habsburg' is a 1924 German silent historical film directed by Alexander Korda and starring Mara Corda, Klmn Ztony and Emil Fenyvessy. The film recounts the events of the 1889 Mayerling Incident in which the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire committed suicide. Studio filming was done in Berlin with location shooting in Vienna. The film cost $80,000 to make, but only earned back around half of this at the box office.Kulik p. 39
