The Wedding March

“Dashing, Impetuous, Insolent. the playboy of Vienna- handsome, well-born, idol of the ladies- Prince Nicki, portrayed by Erich Von Stroheim. Riotous, color-splashed romance of Vienna.”

In Vienna, where the old caste system still decides who may marry whom, Nicki (Erich von Stroheim) is an army officer and a prince, and Mitzi (Fay Wray) is a peasant girl he cannot stop noticing. Von Stroheim, who also directed, sets their attraction against a family that expects him to marry for money and rank. He knows from the start it cannot last, and she is the one with nothing to protect her when it ends.
