* PimpedOutDress: Flavia's GorgeousPeriodDress is always highly elaborate, as befitting the high fashion of the [[LaBelleEpoque Belle Epoque]] and [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry positively dripping with jewelry]]; in one scene, her black OperaGloves even have diamond ''mousquetaire'' buttons!

The link was to a 2002 movie, which of course could not be the basis for a 1970’s movie. Feldman meant the 1930s version, which does have a page, at least not yet.


It's a {{Parody}} of the classic adventure novel ''Literature/BeauGeste'' (though, by Feldman's own account, he got ''Literature/BeauGeste'' mixed up with ''Film/TheFourFeathers'', which was what he had originally intended to spoof) and the movies based on it. The movie was [[ExecutiveMeddling severely cut before its release]]; Michael York has commented in interviews that Feldman's original version was much funnier than the released version, and Feldman himself wrote to a critic at the ''New York Times'' to advise him that the version of the film he had seen (which, in fact, he had given a rave review to) was ''not'' the version that Feldman had made and wanted to release.
