Trivia:
This movie begins a couple of weeks after Franz Joseph and Sissi got married, which was in 1854. In 1855, Sissi gave birth to their first child. Also, Franz Joseph later references the Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856. But the coronation in Hungary did not take place until 1867. So about a decade is minimized to a couple of minutes, while a couple of years form the biggest part of the movie.

Goofs:
Anachronisms: When Sissi and Franz Joseph waltz in the beginning of the ball Sissi has organized for the Hungarian exiles, the song played is the Kaiser-Walzer. However, Strauss didn't write this Waltz until 1889, while this ball is at least before 1867, the year in which Franz Joseph became the King of Hungaria.

[after Emperor Franz Joseph makes a misstep on a mountain trying to pick Edelweis for Sissi, and almost falls to his death] Is he still up there?

Loved it as a romantic teenager in Holland in 1956 - now I'm a senior in Australia and still love it. It brings back wonderful memories of my youth. Sure it is sweet and most probably not a completely true story, but who cares ? I'll see it anytime, it's a shame they don't make movies like this anymore.
