What I've Been Watching: Marie Antoinette (1938)


Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to watch Marie Antoinette.
This is one of those inspiring, feel-good, romantic, obnoxiously large dresses and terribly sad ending movies.
It portrays the true tale of the heroic Antoinette. She was an Austrian Princess who married the King of France's grandson, whom was next in line for the throne. When the grandfather dies, she is then crowned Queen. Unfortunately, the French Revolution takes a turn for the worst and the fear-infested people raid the palace and imprisoned the royal family.
To make a long story short, they all loose their heads. :) But thanks to the marvelous film skills of the 30's there are no gruesome scenes incorporated into this film.....they're just implied.
