    The film; Marie Antoinette, is one of the most lavish film's I have seen. This gem from MGM Studios in 1938 stars the beautiful Norma Sheaer along with the dashing Tyrone Power. Norma Shearer plays the Queen Marie Antoinette whom fals in love with Tyrone Power wher they stay toge...( read more)ther through her ill fated marriage and the over throw of France. The recent version with Kirsten Dunst holds nothing close to this materpiece of the original. Make time to see this and forget the remake which is not worthy of a few moments.

    The Coppola version beats the crap out of this one and it's drawn out heavy handedness. In the plus column, Van Dyke's version does try to portray Marie in a more sympathetic light as a victim rather than a selfish bitch. It also offers more in the way of a biography rather than ...( read more)Coppola's snapshot that tries to make you forget the died by decapitation. The Shearer/Power romance seemed forced (just as I forced myself to finish it) and the running time was way too long, but this version isn't entirely awful and for as much as I love black and white this is definitely a movie that should've been done in color. And hat's off to Norma Shearer for having the bravery (and remember we're talking 1938 here) for looking like complete and utter shit before the inevitable decapitation scene years before getting ugly was a surefire way to get and Oscar.
