If you enjoy English history, love sumptuous period costumes of the aristocracy and royalty, verdant landscapes and investigations of the various manifestations of love, run, don't walk, to savour this fabulous film.

Keira Knightley was completely engaging as Georgiana Cavendish, the Duchess, of the film title.
