Catherine Delors shares her review of “The Duchess,” starring Keira Knightley as Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.

(I haven’t seen the movie yet, but probably will soon.)

From the blog Scandalous Women: another unenthusiastic review of “The Duchess,” which stars Keira Knightley as Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.

(I guess I’ll wait for this movie to come out on DVD. Not all the reviews are bad, however; Rotten Tomates currently rates it as 62% fresh.)

Here’s another bad review for “The Duchess,” starring Keira Knightley as Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.

From the Guardian: a review of the new Keira Knightley movie "The Duchess."

Here’s the official website for the upcoming movie “The Duchess,” which stars Keira Knightley as the 18th century’s Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.

The site has nice music and some info on the movie’s costumes, so check it out. (Thank you to Georgiana’s Gossip Guide, where I found this link!)

The movie is based on Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman, a book I liked a lot. The author’s official website is here.

Here is a recent trailer for the upcoming Keira Knightley movie “The Duchess,” about the 18th century’s Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. The trailer starts with an image of Princess Diana (who was related to the Duchess of Devonshire), and says the two women were “united by destiny,” although the rest of the trailer doesn’t show any particularly striking similarities between the Duchess and Diana.

By the way, this trailer gives away the movie’s entire plot, so if you like to be surprised you might not want to watch the whole thing. See below for an earlier trailer that leaves more to the imagination.

The movie is based on Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman, an excellent biography of the real duchess (who was, among other things, a novelist, a political activist, and a friend of Marie Antoinette).

Here’s that earlier, shorter movie trailer I mentioned above:
