Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Colonel Redl is a 1985 film from Hungary, directed by Istvan Szabo.It is loosely based on John Osborne play A Patriot for Me, which in turn was loosely based on the life of a real guy, Alfred Redl, Austro-Hungarian spy chief in the years leading up to World War I. Despite growing up in the household of a poor farmer, Alfred, born in 1864, wins his way into military school on sheer academic merit. He forms a friendship with Kristof Kubinyi, his classmate for years, despite the fact that Kristof is a nobleman and Alfred has no money.Alfred's dedication and patriotic fervor wins him promotions and, eventually, a job as chief of army counterintelligence and a place in the circle of the heir to the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand. However, Colonel Redl has a secret: he is a homosexual. Eventually, his enemies use this secret against him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Klaus Maria Brandauer stars as Redl. Hans Christian Blech plays von Roden, a sort of mentor to Redl in the officer corps.

The Beard: Redl marries a woman named Clarissa in hopes of squelching rumors about his sexuality. It doesn't work.

comment
Dances and Balls: At one fancy ball an Austrian officer falls down drunk, demonstrating the general unfitness of the officer corps. At another, a masked ball later in the film, people are talking openly about how secret military plans are hidden away in office safes, or that the Habsburg monarchy is doomed.
