Additional Notes
Lana Turner went from being a shy and innocent sweater girl to a movie goddess and eventually into a tabloid queen with her line of scandalous marriages and relationships. Whereas some say her acting skills were limited, she was a beautiful and glamorous actress who excelled in roles that highlighted her sexuality and was for some time, one of MGM’s leading stars.
The real Diane de Poitiers, mistress to King Henry II and named after the goddess Diana, gained absolute power through her manipulation of the men in her life. In this film, the character is just a statuesque victim of true love- Lana Turner style. The film was a lavish costume epic that took liberties with historical facts and Lana Turner was certainly the most decorated character in the film wearing over 20 lavishly ornamented period gowns. Lana Turner did not like what she called the MGM “costume stinkers” and it was her final film for MGM and her final period film.
Plunket did take care with historic detail, but also re-interpreted the period to follow directives to show Lana Turner’s ample chevage. The majority of the costumes for Diane were in black bejeweled fabrics because it seems that the character is always in mourning for someone. So many jewels were used on the luxurious costumes, Plunket purchased a manufacturer just to produce all the ornamentations. Even though MGM was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time of filming, it did not show in this opulent production.
Gown during the jousting scenes where she has been named Queen of the Lists.
