LOL.

Some of the characters are better dressed than my Melnibonéan Elves. I rather like the white tricorn hats.

Cheers,

La Tempête (1958) is currently available as steaming (Italian version): link
54 years later (old fart) I enjoyed to see again the Chevaliers-Gardes (who look more Ruritanian than Russian), the Russian infantry in blue or in white, the red hussars-lancers with a cape instead of a pelisse… My taste for 'unhistorical' Lace Wars uniforms is rooted for a part in such movies.
