LOL....yes it does take all sorts! You thought the costumes "dire" ?????
C'mon! Why? I'm interested in why you hate them.
Acting -wise, there was no one really stellar, but to keep that confusion of
a script going took some talent.
I don't remember why I hated them - it's a while since I saw it and
merely have it filed under "Frocks - dire" in my memory.
So your comment "All that Stanislavsky Method in
the 1660s? I don't think so......", while accurate in some ways,
doesn't take into account the facts of theatre in England.

Yes I'm sure acting changed when women were allowed on stage, but not the
stupid way it appears in the film. All of Restoration Comedy proves
that! If it
had changed like in the film, no one would have NEEDED Stanislovisky in the
19th century! And all that lame "sexual politics" stuff. Lines like "What do
men DO when they have sex?" Pu-leez! Just DUMB! ....but beautiful!
