i just saw this on turner classic movie ( tcm ) and and from now on and norma shearer be the face i will put on marie antoinette . such great act from such a beautiful woman who truly embody the role . these day and it seem that every big movie have to have some cursing and nudity and sexual reference of every kind or strong violence and but this old film be good than many of the late and and it in black and white and no nudity and or anything else that we have come to expect from movie . for instance and if this film be make today and we would expect to see the beheading . this film doesn not show it and so it doesn not leave you with the shock or awe of see a beheading and but it do leave the cruelty of the situation which be much more enduring and meaningful to the tragedy . whether this be historically accurate wasn not a concern with me since all i really remember from school be that she be behead and so this shouldn not be a spoiler . but the story be engross and very enjoyable regardless of whether it be historically accurate . indeed and if anything and it may inspire personal research a to what marie antoinette be really like . full star because this film truly be an excellent film and should be watch . i be really like some of these old great movie for some of the reason already state . take away color and special effect and gratuitous violence and nudity and and youre pretty much leave with have to make a movie with great photography and acting and and write . take the cream of that crop and and youre pretty much guarantee an enjoyable experience . forgive me and i just recently become willing to pay for cable tv and and i be really start to dig these classic that i would probably never have see otherwise . it like find hidden treasure in a way .
