Directed by: Andy Tennant
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, Dougray Scott, Richard O'Brien, Patrick Godfrey
A modern (as in 16th century modern!) twist on the classic cinderella story in which Danielle de Barbarac is thrown at the mercy of her abusive stepmother Baroness de Gent (Angelica Huston) and stepsister Margerite (Megan Dodds). One day, while trying to save a servant, she catches the prince's eye, and falls in love only to know deep in her heart that the relationship can never be.
Continuity mistake: When Danielle is with Gustave, she walks behind the four-paneled privacy screen and tosses her dress over it. In the following shots, the dress hangs over either the second panel from her left or second panel from her right, depending on the shot. (00:22:15)
Prince Henry: I have been born to privilege, and with that comes specific obligations.
Leonardo da Vinci: Horseshit.
Trivia: When Danielle is with Gustave in his painter's studio, just as Gustave says, "Five days in the stocks," there's a painting of a noblewoman on the easel beside them; the noblewoman left her gown and jewelry at the studio for the painter to consult while completing her portrait, and it is that noblewoman's gown Danielle borrows to impersonate a courtier. Then, while Danielle is at the royal court quoting Utopia to Henry, right after she says, "but that you first make thieves and then punish them," in the next shot, the older noblewoman at the center is the one from the portrait; she's played by Amanda Walker, the wife of Patrick Godfrey who plays Leonardo, also in this scene. Amanda was to have a line in this scene (in the goldenrod script version), commenting on Danielle's gown being identical to her own, but that line was cut. (00:21:45 - 00:29:20)
