One Dress a Day Challenge

October: White Redux

Diane / Lana Turner as Diane de Poitiers

Good old Walter Plunkett again! Diane wears this white gown in an early scene in which she begs the king to spare her husband's life. The gown and shoes have been preserved, and apart from some inevitable yellowing, they seem to be in good condition. The jeweled decorations are really gorgeous! There's a detailed writeup with many close-up pictures (some of which I borrowed for this post) at the Vintage Film Costume Collector blog.

The opera Rigoletto is based on Victor Hugo's play Le roi s'amuse.

The character in the play who became the opera's Duke of Mantua is King Francis I of France. (The opera had to change the setting to Mantua and demote the king to a duke because the censors of the era wouldn't allow such a negative portrayal of a king, or a nearly successful attempt to assassinate him, to be shown onstage.)

King Francis I is also the king in the movie Ever After: A Cinderella Story – the father of Prince Henry, the future King Henry II. Obviously, by the time Ever After takes place, his days as the handsome womanizer Hugo's play depicts were behind him.

Ever After's heroine Danielle de Barbarac is a fictional character, but apparently she's loosely inspired by Diane de Poitiers, the real Henry II's beloved mistress. She was known as a highly intelligent woman and as Henry's unofficial advisor as well as his bedmate. The movie just sanitizes the situation and makes it fit the Cinderella story by removing Henry's arranged marriage to Catherine de Medici and having him marry Danielle instead.

And who was Diane de Poitiers's father? Jean de Poitiers, Seigneur de Saint-Vallier. In Hugo's play, he's the character who corresponds to Rigoletto's Monterone.

Of course Victor Hugo had entirely different goals in writing Le roi s'amuse than the screenwriters of Ever After did fort their "realistic fairy tale." It's hard to imagine the hot-tempered yet ultimately good-hearted old king in Ever After as having once been the charming yet ruthless young rake from Hugo's play and Verdi's opera, and whether either of them resembles the real Francis I or not I don't know.

I just think it's funny that this connection exists between Rigoletto and Ever After, of all things.

(P.S. I wonder what King Francis would think of the fact that not only does Verdi's opera demote a character who was meant to be him to a mere duke, but that so many modern productions of that opera have demoted him even further, portraying him as a Mafia boss, a movie studio mogul, a Frank Sinatra-style singer, etc.)
