Victoria in Dover (aka The Story of Vickie ) (German title: Mädchenjahre einer Königin ) is a 1954 Austrian historical romantic comedy film directed by Ernst Marischka and starring Romy Schneider , Adrian Hoven and Magda Schneider .[ 1] It is a remake of the 1936 Erich Engel film Victoria in Dover , which was based on a 1932 play by Sil-Vara . Schneider's performance as a spirited young royal was a lead-in to her best known role in Sissi and its sequels, although Marischka had originally intended to cast Sonja Ziemann as Victoria.
It was shot at the Sievering Studios in Vienna and on location around the city. The film's sets were designed by the art director Fritz Jüptner-Jonstorff .[citation needed ]
