how bad Hollywood does historical

replies. I am teaching a class in the costume and fashion industries 
and thought it would be fun to show some clips of costumes from 
movies, and not just good examples but some really bad ones. For 
instance, I happened to see on tv a bit of an old movie from the 1950s 
a couple weeks ago called "Princess of the Nile" which took place in 
the Middle East and the costumes were so bad they were really 
laughable. The women were wearing high spiked heels for instance. So 
I'm wondering if you all can name some other old movies with really 
anachronistic or just plain wrong historical costumes.
