The Martini Shot

Keira Knightley stars as Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, an 18th Century aristocrat and direct ancestor of Diana, princess of Wales. Like Diana, Georgiana is said to be the fashion icon of her generation.  The film is adapted from the best-selling biography by Amanda Foreman. From this trailer, it appears the film promises the staples of period films: political intrigue, promiscuous bluebloods, and extravagant costumes. Look for it in theaters November 19th, 2008
