i be delight to see this at the rental store because i absolutely adore norma shearer and have yet to see this piece of work . overall it be very nice and with extravagant costume ( this must have be high up on liberace top 100 list ) and good acting and and fantastic directing . the only thing i have a major problem with be the fact that the director try to cram in too much of her life into the span of only 2 and a half hour . you first start the movie with marie antoinette find out she be to be marry to louis the xvi and then during the film so much go on that you sort of have a hard time keep up with how much time have past in her life and until finally you get to the crucial part in the film where her and her husband be to be execute . i do not know much about her life so i honestly have no idea how much they leave out and but a a regular film watcher and i find this piece to be just wonderful . norma shearer do such a great job near the end and when she be about to be behead . when count axel de fersen come down the stair into her dungeon to bid her a final fairwell and you really get the feeling that she be just completely drain with all emotion by the simple look in her eye . i must admit to shed some tear during that scene . another highly recommend film . positive .
