Ever seen The Darling Buds of May? There is a very young Catherine Zeta Jones in that and after her character's marriage, she wears the most sublime 1950s dresses and suits.
No I haven't but thanks for the tip, I'm always looking out for more inspiring movies (can't thank you enough for telling me about Anne of a thousand days. Chnaging subject: Since we're only stayin three days and bringin all the kids I guess we won't meet up this time I go to London. My hope is that I will be able to go alone for a few days in October though; maybe then?
Darling Buds of May is based on a book (possibly series?) from the 1950s and is a miniseries. It is a lovely vignette of 1950s life on a farm - with a twist! Wonderfully eccentric in that peculiarly English way!
If you like Anne then try the "sister" film, Mary, Queen of Scots. And look out for a fantastic reference to a scene in Anne. I shan't say any more!
Perhaps we could meet up in London in October. No idea what I am doing then but so far nothing much.
