I dunno--they simplified the Oates plot quite a bit. And I think that the 'young Charles' period clothing looked way too faux-Elizabethan to be right for the period, although I could be wrong. > It is a period that I know little about (and I still don't understand > the meaning of the title) but it is very interesting and the costumes > are lovely. It's called 'The Last King' because Charles II was the last English king to rule without a parliament. One would wish that Elizabeth II had the guts to do the same; it would have saved a lot of bother. -- Robert Uhl <http://public.xdi.org/=ruhl> My Hope is the Father, my Refuge is the Son, my Shelter is the Holy Spirit.
