How accurate is it in terms of history, not costuming? ******************** Speaking, rather than not, of the costumes.... Well, Adrian did them so as far as costumes go, they are spectacular, if not accurate. He apparently used as much real 18th century lace as he could get his hands on. If I remember rightly, Norma Shearer wears a number of real diamonds in her hair, and they had to build a replica of the ballroom at Versailles...only BIGGER to accommodate the huge panniers. That's right, bigger....than Versailles.... well, it is Hollywood. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
