Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn reality, Lady Caroline Lamb was addicted to laudanum, which is generally thought to be one of the contributing factors to her premature death. There is no reference to this specific addiction in the movie, although in the first scene Lady Bessborough offers Caroline a tincture of some sort for her nervousness, that tincture which most-likely is laudanum.
- GoofsMembers of Parliament do not applaud speeches.
- Quotes
ADC to Wellington: [Caroline has just slashed her wrists] Good God, your Grace! She just tried to kill herself!
Duke of Wellington: Nonsense, me boy. No difficulty about killing yourself, if you really mean to.
- ConnectionsReferenced in The Films of Robert Bolt (1972)
Featured review
Laurence Olivier as Lord wellington makes the movie!!
Boy, can women make fools over themselves and over such a cute little boy as Lord Byron!!! Lord Lamb is made to look a lamb indeed, as he continually forgives his neurotic/crazy wife for affairs that other women, including his own mother, have left and right but with discretion!! It reminded me of the hooraw over poor Pres. Clinton and his dalliance with the hooker/I mean aide, and the hypocritical rantings of Newt Gingrich who was doing the same thing all the time,.....but DISCREETLY. My goodness, aren't we just like the English!!! Since I don't really know the history, other than that the Brittannica says that she made a scene at some Lady's party...boy, did she ever!!! cutting her wrists and bleeding all over everybody's ball gowns. The mother, former mistress of George IV is quite intelligent and not half-bad. I loved all the costumes and the histrionics myself. Just to look at all those palatial estates was worth the price of the movie!!
And of course, Olivier is different in every movie! How I miss him!
