Beau Brummell

A bit ornate. Fussy, sir, Captain Beau Brummell (Stewart Granger) complains to the designer of his regiment's uniform who just happens to be the Prince of Wales (Peter Ustinov). It's an unlikely beginning to a great friendship, one that leads swordsman and dandy Brummell into lofty circles, royal intrigue and the arms of lovely Lady Patricia (Elizabeth Taylor). Filled with zest and style, highlighted by opulent costumes and glorious color photography, Beau Brummell is a treat for fans of historical epics. Granger (Scaramouche) is dashing, Taylor is ravishing, but Ustinov and Robert Morley almost steal the show as the future George IV of England and his mad papa, George III.
