The Hungarian names are absolutely incorrect in the film. (f.e. "Erzebet", "Ferenc Nadasky", "Georgi" etc. are very-very wrong!!!!:-() It's shame!
The correct names of real historical persons in Hungarian: BÁTHORY ERZSÉBET (Erzebet Bathory) THURZÓ GYÖRGY (György Thurzo) THURZÓ ISTVÁN (Istvan Thurzo) NÁDASDY FERENC (Ferenc Nadsky) BÁTHORY PÁL (Paul Bathory) King Mátyás (King Matthias)
/Other names f.e.: PAULA (Pola) Berta (Bertha)/
I think the cast and the direction were good enough and the music was beautiful. I liked the protagonist and the love story, but the screenplay was not interested in the historical loyalty of any of the known facts. (I mention that Thurzó György wasn't only a simple noble, but he was Palatine of Hungary.)
