Sympathetic biopic of the 18th-century queen of France, Marie-Antoinette, who met her death on the guillotine during the French Revolution; based in part on a best-selling 1933 biography by Stefan Zweig. Starring the self-styled "queen of MGM" (Norma Shearer) in the title role, 'Marie Antoinette' chronicles the queen's life from her carefree childhood in Austria to her infamous public death twenty years later. It covers her arranged marriage to the painfully shy King Louis the Sixteenth (Robert Morley) and the reckless extravagance she used to escape her misery and boredom. Finally, it shows Marie-Antoinette growing into dignity and maturity as she separates from her sweetheart, a dashing Swedish aristocrat (Tyrone Power), and supports her husband through the crisis of the monarchy, following him to prison and death.
