Schleissheim Palace - As Film Location

As Film Location

  • Schleissheim Palace has been used as a location for several notable motion pictures:
    • The 1951 film Decision Before Dawn directed by Anatole Litvak used interiors and exteriors of Schleissheim when the Oskar Werner medic/spy character is picked to become an aide to a panzer General.
    • The palace was used extensively as the French Army division headquarters in Stanley Kubrick's 1957 film Paths of Glory. The execution of the WWI French soldiers was filmed in the grand garden of the new Palace (Gartenfassade des Neuen Schlosses) and the court martial in the Great Hall (Grosser Saal) inside the Palace.
    • The palace (along with two others in Munich) was a principal filming location for Alain Resnais's 1961 movie Last Year at Marienbad.
    • Some scenes of The Three Musketeers (2011) were filmed in the palace.

Famous quotes containing the word film:

    “The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
    —Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
