Customer Reviews
What a find!
So glad I found this! As a budding actor myself and a huge fan of the series, it’s absolutely fascinating to hear about the process of making Versailles. Alex and George are also incredibly charming.
Not offended by the language
I mean look at Versailles after that i am unshockable!! Fascinating to learn how it began totally agree about Alex his vulnerability made me lose my heart to Phillippe can’t wait until the next one :-)
Language boys.
Love hearing the voices of these two great actors again, and reliving their joy. BUT shame about the bad language , too sexually explicit.
