I wish they would release a digitally colorized version of this film. The costumes and set design were all designed to take full advantage of color, with Antoinette's gowns being replicated in gorgeous shades the real Queen would have loved. But it was deemed too expensive to film in color.

It was supposed to be in Technicolor but they went over budget.

In bianco e nero e' meraviglioso e non era previsto il colore. Era il film della Shearer moglie del produttore e non c'erano limiti al budget. Usarono anche diamanti veri per i gioielli. Il bianco è nero e' piu' affascinante ed evocativo. A colori sarebbe stato "un'americanata". Anche Via Col Vento sarebbe stato piu' bello in bianco e nero.

Yes, it's historically inaccurate, yes, it's completely over-the-top, but you're lying to yourself in you're saying this isn't a good movie. It's wonderful.

Actually, it's pretty accurate. With odour of it's time, no doubt, but pretty accurate. Especially in volumes and silhouettes.

Films of such incredible atmosphere no longer exist.

(It should be noted that the frenetic party in this sequence was the periodic ball at the Paris Opera, which was open to anyone who was reasonably well dressed. The Queen did not "hold" this function; the Opera did. It was NOT one of her "wild parties"; the fetes and galas that she hosted, at her private retreat at the Petit Trianon, were private gatherings of friends, informal and relaxed, with nothing improper about them.) The French historian Andre Maurois -- a wonderfully humane man, as well as a fine scholar -- commented "Marie Antoinette was utterly luckless; even her good qualities did a disservice to her. She enjoyed trifling jokes and masquerades, and wished to take part in pleasures open to all, such as the Paris Opera ball. In any other queen, this openness and unaffected good nature would have won people's hearts, but the Queen's enemies twisted it into evidence of perversity."

To Orleans -- Thank you so much for your kind comments. I spent part of my early life in France, and was taught at a Jesuit academy (which predated the Revolution). The priests were all still committed royalists (generations after France had last had a monarchy), and on 16 October every year (the anniversary of the Queen's execution), one of them would read us the wonderful letter that the Queen wrote to her sister-in-law, Madame Elisabeth, a few hours before her death. I've had an abiding interest in (and admiration for) Marie Antoinette ever since. As a lover of all things French, I LOVE everything about the Creole culture of Louisiana. (Gumbo and jambalaya are as much gifts of God to man as chocolate, Mozart, Shakespeare and Vermeer. A branch of the Prudhomme family had a Louisiana-themed restaurant in my area; when it closed a few years ago, I felt as though there had been a death in the family). The Creoles are one of the much-needed leavens in the bread of what is still a predominantly Anglo-Saxon country. (Amerindians, Jews, African-Americans, and the Latin-Catholic culture of the Southwest are others -- as are Italian-Americans, my own heritage). If you haven't yet read him, get your hands on EVERYTHING ever written by the late Harnett Kane, especially his books "Plantation Parade: The Grand Manner in Louisiana", and "Queen New Orleans". In the former, you will meet (among MANY others), two of the greatest of all the Creoles, Valcour Aime and Virginie Tennant (both of whose lives would make SENSATIONAL movies). As for books about the "ancien regime" in France, either of two biographies of Marie Antoinette, Stefan Zweig's "Marie Antoinette: Portrait of An Average Woman" (on which the 1938 Norma Shearer film was loosely based) or Antonia Fraser's "Journey" are great places to start. For the best overview of French history in general that I know, see Andre Maurois' "A History of France". God bless you, and good luck to you, especially in this dreadful time. When the current darkness finally lifts, America will need New Orleans to show us, as it has so often in the past, how to "laissez les bon temps roulez".

This scene makes me crack up

The music in this scene is "Dance of the Furies" from the opera Orphee et Eurydice (Paris 1774) by Christoph Gluck. Magnificent music for a magnificent movie!!!

No in my opinion it is good like this black and white color it gives originality and special touch to that time
