From the stills, it looked like more costume horror, though of the usual earnest thick weave, lots of knotted rags, and seams on the outside of the garment sort. ************************ The best "biblical" costumes I've ever seen were in those Old Testament things Turner television did. They were all filmed in Italy I think and had Italian designers. I could never get all the way thru a whole one however...the scripts were so bad. Richard Harris played Abraham in one....I love to hate Richard Harris. It was hysterical...Ishmael and Isaac as kids come running in the tent for a hug. then run out laughing and Abraham says "God I love those boys." I laughed. Sarah has lines like "Your land has been fertilized by the dung of our goats." Pu-leeze! ANYWAY..... the costumes were amazing. In the one about Joseph, Potiphar and his wife look fantastic! If I remember....she was in a sheer coral red crinkled gauze shift to her feet that had a turquoise knitted over dress, very open in its working, that made the whole thing appear like a coral and turquoise geometric patterned tube that clung tightly to the body. The naked body showed thru the bright gauze and the open work knitted shift had bits of gold bobbles worked into it...and it ended in tied tassels at her ankles. She wore that familiar wig, like a big hair helmet with hammered gold leaves that dangled and shimmered all over it. The dark cole eyes and red lips....she looked like she stepped off a Pyramid wall! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
