Marie-Antoinette reine de France (1956)

Director:

Jean Delannoy    

Writers:

Jean Delannoy,  Philippe Erlanger 

Stars:

Michèle Morgan,  Richard Todd,  Jacques Morel
 
 
It has several advantages over the 1938 Norma Shearer version: It is made by the French; it is more historically - one could say maniacally - accurate in its sequencing of events; it is more intimate, concentrating on Marie's love affair with Fersen without skimping on the recreation of every important watershed in the Revolution; it uses actual locations (Versailles, Trianon, le Hameau and the Tuileries); it is in colour; it has very gripping and unforgettable moments of suspense; and it stars Michèle Morgan, one the most beautiful and naturally aristocratic women on the planet and also a very touching actress. The film excels in discretely recreating the actual look and feel of Marie Antoinette's world (such as her pastoral distractions, the formality of court life and the detailed horror of her treatment by the Revolution). In a cast of hundreds of top-notch actors, English import (and Disney favourite) Richard Todd does a marvelous job as Fersen, besides being a dead-ringer for the real man and having his English accent approximate the original's Swedish accent. The music, art direction, photography and film direction are excellent. The entire package is very well-made with no expense spared even if it runs just a tad too long for the average viewer. But its message, its attention to detail, its story arc and poetry are clear and astounding.

  2. Marie Antoinette 4 Star Review

    Posted by on Dec 14th 2023

    This is a French version of Marie. And they were not kind to her. There might be English sub-titles but I understand bitch when I hear it. The French think they are lovers. Imagine a mob of blood thirsty idiots coming at you. They have the nerve of screaming help when Hitler pranced down the streets, at the same time treat the United States, however they feel like it. Which is not good. I do not think they even thanked us for saving their sorry butts.
