Movie Haiku:Keira-Mania baffles Jan, altho Rich allows she''s pretty enough. Here she''s Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, whose descendents include BOTH Diana & Fergie!!! Fiennes does well as the beleagured Duke (is Jan the only one on earth with sympathy for HIM???), as does Atwell--the only one on screen with energy. Jan: Watch MARIE ANTOINETTE on DVD instead!
