And The Golden Age won the Oscar for Best Costume Design. I really, really love the shot of Elizabeth dressed in armour on horseback when she gives her rallying speech.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-29103387133251421662009-05-12T20:53:00.000-03:002009-05-12T20:53:00.000-03:00Yes, yes, yes.

Most historians spend a lot of time on Elizabeth's clothes (since she made political statements with them) so I wondered.Jennifer McKenziehttp://jenniferleeland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-73388403320242855092009-05-12T20:36:00.000-03:002009-05-12T20:36:00.000-03:00Jeeves - I love having the pictures all together l...Jeeves - I love having the pictures all together like this.<br /><br />Amy - LOL! I remember you mentioning that on your blog. Here's where we realize that twins have their own idiosyncrasies. I love Beowulf and Grendel. I saw it at the film festival, then saw it three more times at the theatre, and now I have it on DVD. I really felt for the troll and thought the actor's performance was amazing.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-81742028968010756702009-05-12T20:19:00.000-03:002009-05-12T20:19:00.000-03:00Loved Beowulf and Grendel for the costumes and Ger...Loved Beowulf and Grendel for the costumes and Gerard, but did not like the film.<br /><br />You know even though it's not historic, yet, Doris Day films and Auntie Mame give us breathtaking costumes of the 50's and 60's.Amy Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212879406999128140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-68262958749789609282009-05-12T06:04:00.000-03:002009-05-12T06:04:00.000-03:00Wow!!!Just love these pictures.Wow!!!Just love these pictures.Jeeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059095696768768954noreply@blogger.com
