Movie Info
M.G.M.'s opulent costume drama Marie Antoinette marked a return to the screen after a two-year absence for reigning Queen of M.G.M. Norma Shearer. Shearer plays the title role of an Austrian princess who is married off to Louis Auguste (Robert Morley), the Dauphin of France. Marie, by becoming the Dauphine, finds herself plopped smack in the middle of French palace intrigue between Louis's father King Louis XV (John Barrymore) and his scheming cousin, the Duke of Orleans (Joseph Schildkraut).

Lavish in its textures, weird in its delivery, "Marie Antoinette" is a psychedelic swirl of girliness and history.
Subtleties of history and psychology are glossed over in deference to the movie's teenybopper sensibilities.
