Storyline:
Georgiana Spencer became Duchess of Devonshire on her marriage to the Duke in 1774, at the height of the Georgian period, a period of fashion, decadence, and political change. Spirited and adored by the public at large she quickly found her marriage to be a disappointment, defined by her duty to produce a male heir and the Duke's philandering and callous indifference to her. She befriends Lady Bess but finds she is once again betrayed by her husband who wields his power with the three eventually living uncomfortably together. Against this background, and with the pressures of an unfaithful husband, strict social pressures and constant public scrutiny, Georgiana falls passionately in love with Charles Grey, a rising young Whig politician. However, despite his ongoing liaison with Lady Bess, the Duke refuses to allow her to continue the affair and threatens to take her children from her.

Well done, and historically correct. Worth seeing.

MOVIES REVIEWER

Last night, I attended the advance press screening of this sumptuous movie-adaptation of Amanda Foreman's biographical novel of the charismatic Duchess of Devonshire, Lady Georgiana Spencer Cavendish(an ancestress of the late Princess Diana). The costumes and sets were gorgeous painstakingly handsomely lush detailed. The wigs - especially - will blow you over. All-in-all, the above were visually dazzling! The superb Oscar-worthy acting was delivered by Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, Charlotte Rampling. Kudos to the rest of the cast. However, the story/plot suffered from the distraction of a love-triangle(quadrangle?) - and gave us few/little insights as to why her Ladyship was a distinguished influential aristocrat of her time. This is supposed to be a historical drama! The movie did fleetingly touch on politics, sexism/feminism, and importance of family and friendship. Verdict: If you are a fan of period dramas and love stories, this movie will enthrall you.

This was a very interesting movie. The British countryside was beautiful, the costumes spectacular and the acting superb. It was, however, sad to see the many similarities between the lives of the Dutchess of Devonshire and the Princess of Wales. Both women were so very unhappy in the lives they were forced to live. One would hope that times would have improved. I saw this film on a "Ladies Day Out" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know if our husbands would have enjoyed it as much as we did. If you enjoy period films, and are interested in all things royal, you will enjoy this film.

From my research, this is Princess Diana's great, great, great, great aunt (g, g, g grandfather John Spencer's sister). Very ironic the similarities of Georgiana and Diana (except for one thing compared to Diana but I don't want to give it away). Movie is almost to fact, except her lover is around 10 years younger than she (look up prime minister of England 1830) so when she was 17 he was 7 so he would not have been a teenage friend?!!!See movie first, then do research on the family tree, it is from Duchess G that Sarah Ferguson's family line came from, which is VERY interesting.Movie starts at Althorpe (Spencer home) then other places in England.If you are taking your children, the nudity scene is a brief 5 seconds (which this implicates what we suspect, we may have questioned what happened if was clothing on) and then one other scene is someone being "forced upon", which dress does remain on (I don't want to tell you which character it happens to). I will be buying the DVD.

I liked the movie. The acting is superb and the costumes fabulous. However, I'm not sure how they squeeked by with the PG-13 rating. There's a lot of sex.
