It was made all the better in knowing that Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier were in love in real life. :-)Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-63984591271916304022009-05-10T04:13:00.000-04:002009-05-10T04:13:00.000-04:00Oh Vic, you have chosen one of my three fav classi...Oh Vic, you have chosen one of my three fav classic movies. I had a copy of it in VHS, but it is not on DVD yet, so I have not seen it again recently until you directed me to YouTube. Thanks! This time, I watched the movie with a more educated eye tword Regency fashion and decorating and was quite surprised at the unauthentic clothing and hairstyles for Miss Leigh. This movie was made in 1941 Laurel Ann (Austenprose)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07569869772159241024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-73092964183117723842009-05-08T12:17:00.000-04:002009-05-08T12:17:00.000-04:00I saw this movie a few months ago and it was wonde...I saw this movie a few months ago and it was wonderful but contrived, kind of like the version of "P & P" with Olivier and Garson.<br /><br />Paintings in Lady Hamilton's day were often made more attractive than the actual person. <br /><br />I have always thought Vivien Leigh was beautiful but tortured throughout her career ( mental illness, aging, dwindling roles and Nonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227580166409342214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-23128380565087960142009-05-07T21:51:00.000-04:002009-05-07T21:51:00.000-04:00Such a good opportunity to compare different types...Such a good opportunity to compare different types of beauty.
