The film depicts the life of Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the wife of Frederick William III of Prussia, and her stand against Napoleon during the Napoleonic Wars. It was one of a number of films made during the 1950s that portrayed historical royal Germany in a positive manner.[1] It is similar in theme to the Prussian film genre which had been popular between the two World Wars including two previous films about Louise Queen Louise (1927) and Louise, Queen of Prussia (1931).

gollark: People did this. It failed for all nontrivial problems.
