Colourful
MGM costumer filmed in England, with Stewart
Granger as the famous dandy and Peter
Ustinov as his ëfat friendí, the Prince Regent.
The portrayal of George III (Robert
Morley) as totally barking made this an interesting
choice for his descendants to watch as the Royal Film for 1954.
Locations include the Throne
Room at Windsor Castle; a horseracing
meet filmed at Newmarket,
on the A11 between Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds in
Suffolk; the Tenth Royal Hussars parade filmed in Brighton,
Sussex.
Not far from Windsor, many of the interiors filmed in
Ockwells
Manor, near Maidenhead,
Berkshire. The 15th century manor house was built for
Sir John Norreys, who served under both henry VI and
Edward IV, in 1645 and reputedly has played host to
Henry VIII (so where didnít?), Margaret of Anjou, Henry
VI, Edward IV, Oliver Cromwell and, of course, Elizabeth
I (a gift to copywriters when that other queenly Liz
supposedly lay down for a nap ‚ ěLiz sleeps in Good
Queen Bessí bedî). Ockwells is also home to that famous
torture device, the Maiden of Nurnburg, which actually
appears in the movie.
Brummellís real London residence (there's a Blue Plaque
to him) is 4 Chesterfield Street,
off Curzon Street behind Piccadilly, W1, in London's
Mayfair.
