  1. Tulip Fever is my favourite bc of the costume detail and it also has Holliday Grainger. Close 2nd is Royal Affair, even if several costumes were reused from other flicks. Gotta love those ruffles.

  2. I don’t know if you guys take WCW recommendations here, but what about Mia Wasikowska and Katie McGrath? I feel like they have both shown up a lot without getting a WCW. The one MCM you guys did on Colin reminded me of Katie – she was an awesome Morgana in the BBC’s Merlin with him.

    1. MCM request for Mads Mikkelsen! He might be best known to American audiences as Hannibal and Le Chiffre, but he has quite a few historical roles in European films. Also I saw yesterday that he’s in talks to take over Johnny Depp’s role in the “Fantastic Beasts” series.

      Also request David Suchet, because Poirot 4 Ever.

  3. The only frock flick of hers I’ve seen is The Man from U.N.C.L.E. which disappointed me. I’ve seen episodes form the original series, and the movie has a very different tone.

    1. I think that one of the reasons I liked it so much was because I hadn’t seen the original series. :)

  4. Here is a sentence I thought I’d never write: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was my favorite. She’s very pretty and a good actress, but I must say that after looking at these pictures she does not convince as a blond. As a lover of Arthurian tales, I’m so stoked about The Green Knight!

    Re Mads Mikkelson: I second the motion for a Man Candy Monday focused on him. He’d be an interesting re-casting for Grindelwald, but I’d been longing for a way for Colin Farrell to return to the Fantastic Beasts series and so that’s what I’m hoping for!

  5. PS: Dominic West in that photo from Testament of Youth is the best thing I’ve seen all day!

  6. Gotta say Tulip Fever. A group of us 17th century reenactors saw it before it disappeared (1 week!) and drooled the whole time. One of us was of Dutch ancestry. Second fave was A Royal Affair because Mads.

  7. “As real-life artist Gerda Wegener, wife of Einar Wegener, who over the course of the film realizes he is transgender.”
    *she is transgender, not he
    Lili (born Einar) was a woman, with female pronouns:)

  8. Gosh I didn’t realize how many of her films I have watched I’m fascinated by her Kitty for some strange reason probably because she looks like my idea of the character i remember seeing her in some medieval witch hunt stuff she was a young witch but wore some common folk things
    And please how could a beautiful and elly-gant princess like her be married to such a ugly (and crazy) prince and shag that plastic surgery ugly old guy?
    Not so fond of testament of youth probably because I saw the BBC miniseries and couldn’t stop making comparisons.
