This film was long enough at 116 minutes; hard to imagine sitting through the 166 minute version. The colour looks colourised, though it isn't. Using the war of 1866 with German-speaking Austrians as the enemy as a vehicle, merely 9 years after the war, to explore themes of love and betrayal is very subtle, but unless you like melodramas there isn't much in this film for most people. The battle scenes are well done.
