About The Song of Rákóczi
Dressed as a gypsy woman, Krisztinka Oltay spies, organizes, and takes measures to help Prince Rákóczi and free his lover, Péter Szakmáry. Péter was taken in by his brother, who was loyal to the emperor, and he wants to execute him in Kassa together with the other Kurucs. Krisztinka inspires the tired kuruc troops with a song and Rákóczi's music to capture Kassa and free the prisoners...
Directed by József Daróczy, The Song of Rákóczi leans on a strong ensemble — Klári Tolnay, János Sárdy, Károly Kovács — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1943.
