James Purefoy is hot hot hot, and he is even hotter as the dapper Beau Brummell, male fashion leader of the English Regency. Sadly, this film underwhelms, mostly because of a meandering plot that never seems to hit its stride, and what appeared to be too small a budget for the appropriate number of extras and locations. The men’s costuming, as you might guess, is REALLY nicely done. The women’s is a snooze, with the few female characters wearing the same thing over and over.
