The story takes place in 1933, but the film looks like the year it was made, 1965. This always drives me nuts! All the women have 1960's bouffant hairdos! It ridiculous. But despite this major flaw, the performances are great. Sadly, this is Vivien Leigh's last film. She died two years later in 1967. She was 54.
