June 9, 2008This movie is great. There is a moment on the movie where I like the authencity of it, where the ladies had to keep their dresses up to avoid get dirty by the crap of the horses. I never see this detail in any other movie and you have to think that with so many horse on London, it was logic that there horses' crap everywhere!
