Sister Clodagh (Deborah Kerr) enlists others from her nunnery to found a school and hospital in the Himalayan palace of Mopu, where the unrelenting winds and extraordinary beauty of the landscape distract the sisters from their mission. With hues so vibrant the images seem to breathe, Jack Cardiff, who won his first Oscar for Cinematography (Color) on this project, pushes Technicolor to its limits.

The third feature film from Oscar-winning writer-director Sofia Coppola transposes her fascination with the inner lives of young women to 18th century Versailles with this semi-biographical story of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France from 1774 to 1793.

In this 1953 musical comedy, adapted from Joseph Fields and Anita Loos’s searingly funny stage musical based on her 1925 novella, showgirl Lorelei (Marilyn Monroe) is resplendent in beautiful gowns, most notably in the pink satin dress designed by Travilla during the now-classic number “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Howard Hawks’s film helped to plant Monroe in the hearts of the American public, making her one of the most famous people in the US.
