Fun!
15 March 2000 | by Cara-8 – See all my reviews

As a devoted reader of Regency romances, I was delighted to see a movie about the scandalous Regent himself and his much-lamented marriage to Caroline. And I'm pleased to say this movie lives up to my expectations. Sure, Richard E Grant will never look like the extra-large Prince Regent, but who cares? Here we get gorgeous costumes, wigs, palaces and mistresses, and a fun soap opera which we can pretend is a good-for-you historical snob-picture. Now back to my Regencies!
