A young noblewoman marries into one of Britain's most powerful families and becomes the toast of London in The Duchess. The story chronicles the life of 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire (Knightley), who was reviled for her extravagant political and personal lives. She is a vibrant beauty and celebrity of her time, but she is trapped in an unhappy triangle with her husband and his live-in mistress. She falls passionately in love with an ambitious young politician, and the affair causes a bitter conflict with her husband and threatens to erupt into a scandal. Based on the book Georgina, Duchess Of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman. (Gary Reber)
