Arrival of Marie Antoinette in Versailles, France.

[@lindasturm699]

Marie Antoinette, "I shall be Queen of France." Too bad she didn't listen to the sinister foreboding music.

[@louisxvii2137]

Linda Sturm the score is for the viewing audience, not the characters.

[@alexsantoro597]

LOUIS XVII it’s a joke...

[@susanmurray4176]

There is a good recent film .It is much better then this.

[@joyunicycle]

Ironically the "I shall be queen of France" line gets replayed at the execution scene.

Are you a woman, and or if necessary an old love ensemble musical score that he will give me to love who is Jamie Dornan and my soul mate will meet me in Paris?

[@reglavcor]

I am marveled by the HUGE number of extras, the huge number of costumes, and elaborate set decorations. A scene like that, these days, would cost millions. And remember, this is way before CGI.

[@freespiritable]

Maybe back then it costed millions as well

[@freespiritable]

@Stephen Murphy this is awkward but you didn't get our comments. We are talking about the movie production not about the royal families or their spending 😬😬

Lmao. Marie Antoinette was 14!!!!! When she arrived in France. This chick here is at least 30

[@C.V.20]

italoluder I know! They could just hire a fourteen year old girl to play young Marie Antoinette and later have Norma Shearer to play the older Marie Antoinette.

[@freespiritable]

Yeah, cinema romanticizing history again.

[@KingTriton1837]

It was made in the 30s, people. Lol. Nothing you can do about it now.

[@goodowner5000]

This same actress, Norma Shearer, two years earlier (1936)played Juliet in George Cukor's film of "Romeo and Juliet" - accuracy was not the Hallmark of Old Hollywood, barely is today for that matter. lol.

[@riptiderobin1676]

I don't think the actress looks too old for the part. She doesn't look 14 but she could probably pass for 19-20, considering she was in her 30's, she looks pretty good.

[@angelabby2379]

she looks 32 at least

[@GFSLombardo]

The popularity of Norma Shearer was so great at that time that she was able to play teenagers like Marie Antoinette and Juliet (as in Romeo and) while she was obviously a grown woman. Film making and AMERICA was a lot different than it is now.Just sayin...

[@renan.csmaia]

She was also married to Irving Thalberg (MGM's cofounder).

film meraviglioso

[@Liamb00]

what movie is this?! Love the costumes and the music. Marie Antoinette is my favorite historical figure ppl always get mad at me when I say that but I believe she was a good person she was just thrown in the circumstances of the french court. Their spending and opulence was not all her fault. to me she will forever remain the party queen in a sense. I’ve read a few historical texts about her.

[@chewie2055]

Liam Buehlmaier ...the movie is Marie Antoinette..

[@flamboyante._]

Marie Antoinette from 1938

[@Ladygeorgianaduchess]

Her story do be interesting

[@Gregorius24]

I’ve always been impressed that Herbert Stothart (who wrote the background score to “The Wizard of Oz”) and the MGM music dept. knew enough about Jean-Philippe Rameau’s compositions (he wasn’t well known at this time to the general public) to use a relatively obscure work, such as his 1745 opera-ballet, La Princesse de Navarre (the aria “Regnez, regnez en paix”). 🎶❤️

[@mariaconsuelodoglio7630]

Norma Shearer, bellissima e dai lineamenti aristocratici...! Dall'Italia

[@floris.927]

Never find it a big deal that a 30 something Norma Shearer player a teenager. Glenda Jackson played a teenage Elizabeth in her 30s and ppl said nothing.

In real life Louis was a weak man that let people walk over him, so that was one of the reasons the revolution began the french ministers would do whatever they wanted and the king would let them in the end after they broke France they blamed the king and the queen!!!

Rameau is used here: from his opera-ballet, La Princesse de Navarre (1745)-the aria “Regnez, regnez en paix.” Later, there is music by Gluck: Orpheus and Euridice (the Italian version), and also from his ballet Don Juan.

As a movie I prefer Sofia Coppola's version, but in acting of course I prefer Norma Shearer's Maria Antoinette, even though the actress was already in her thirties when she played the character.

Movie??

[@Ladygeorgianaduchess]

this is an awkward scene

[@goldielynpasinag2808]

Why is it black and white.

[@randolphparrish6963]

The studio filmed it in color, but decided to release it only in b&w since it was much cheaper that way than to make color prints.

[@Gregorius24]

It was filmed in black and white. Three-strip Technicolor had only been in use since 1932 and the process was slow to being used by the major studios. The only color film from Marie Antoinette (1938) that exists are some costume tests. Technicolor cameras and crew and processing were still extremely expensive and the cost would have been prohibitive, as most of the budget was sunk into sets and set pieces from Europe as well as costumes.

[@richardque1036]

NS is simple to old for role,MA wzs only 14 when she married.second the emtire film should have shoot in color.

[@KingTriton1837]

Wrong. She played the part well and looked every bit the age of Marie Antoinette.

[@michaelchristian5089]

The Bourbon Royal family of France paid the ultimate price for refusing the French people democracy, as did the Romanov's of Imperial Russia... ...before both of these world changing incidents the king of England Charles Ist was executed by decapitation for the same abuses of his subjects. If the royal families of France & Russia had read their history books both may have survived.
