Some spectacular costumes for all of you today – I hope you enjoy! We’ve got a couple new sightings of a great headdress we’ve been documenting for years, as well as a new costume I randomly came across the other day.
I put a warning on the page with the headdress – some of those Lucrezia movies are…um…softcore porn. So, fair warning there. I fast forward through them to get the shots I need, but I don’t want ya’ll to think “Hey I’m gonna watch this fun movie about Lucrezia Borgia and…oh no!” Always proceed with caution with any movie recommended here.
Not much to report here. Very busy, as always, but will continue to update weekly!
Hope all of you are doing well. As always, thank you for your contributions – they are very much appreciated.
Costume Commentary
Oh wow I’m so glad you found the white dress! I had spotted the Anne of the Thousand Days/Carry On, Henry reuse, but I was wondering where it originated and I was soooo curious! I thought it might have been from The Sword and The Rose as there was a similar dress but nope. So it’s really cool to have this question answered!
As for the headpiece, I actually have two more sightings to add, sorry I didn’t send them sooner.
Did you do more screencaps as you were fast watching Lucrezia? Cause I wonder if there aren’t more costumes in it… Or I get confuse between the Lucrezia?
Oh gosh, did you submit it and I forgot to credit you? If so, I am sorry, as I am not finding it in my records. Or is it one you’d not submitted yet. Let me know, because it’s important to me to credit you.
I cannot wait to see where else you found the headdress!
I didn’t take too many photos, no. I scrolled through it enough to see there are really only a few scenes with ahem…clothes. There are some scenes of people lounging in nightgowns, etc, but there are not many big court scenes with lots of costumes. I am sure there are more reuses to be found, but on the whole I wasn’t seeing very much in the way of costumes that knocked my socks off.
Oh no, don’t worry, I hadn’t submit it. I’m just glad the mystery of its origin is solved, plus with a very cool story about it!
Oh good, thank you!
Not sure whether I should blame the softcore porn on it being made in the 70s or being European
If I noticed one thing in all my years of watching period dramas, it is that American period dramas are not shy of violence while European ones don’t shy away from nudity and explicit sex scenes.
It’s very true. American stuff has waaaaay too much violence!
