This would be a great film blog destination. Will save this blog in film blogging as need to start planning where to go next year.
Really great place to go in our campervan.
In popular culture
The Château de Hautefort features in two films:
- Eye of the Devil, a 1966 British mystery/horror film with supernatural and occult themes, where the château (named Château Bellenac in the film) features extensively. Directed by J. Lee Thompson, the film stars Deborah Kerr, David Niven, Flora Robson, Donald Pleasence, David Hemmings, Kim Novak, and a young Sharon Tate.[1][2]
- Ever After, a 1998 romantic drama inspired by “Cinderella“, with the château portraying the character Prince Henry’s castle; many scenes were shot in and around the Dordogne. The film stars Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, Dougray Scott and Jeanne Moreau.

Found the film above that was also made at the Chateaux, not watched it yet.
Film Fashion/Makeup
The main fashion was at the party at the beginning, like the ivory dress for slim build women and the choker.
The film focuses on Sharon Tate’s makeup and hair as she just wears a black polo neck and black jeans throughout the whole film. She also wears a silver talisman statement piece of jewellry, and she is wearing slim-fit boots for small ankles.
Sharon Tate is really stunning and you may want to use these photos to get some makeup style back into your life.
Her clothes are basic black essentials that every woman should be able to purchase. No point trying to shop for it at the moment as it isn’t there. Will definitely complete this blog if it comes back as it is my basic everyday look. Would buy the boots as well.
She is wearing a smoky cat eye, nude lip, and backcombed blonde shoulder-length hair, it is just a bit longer than shoulder length, but after styling is sort of shoulder length.
You might just manage this outfit look from pre-COVID clothes, except for the tight boots.
This is possibly the look in colour.
Stunning photographs of Sharon Tate
The nude lip works really well with a heavy smoky cat eye. Really like her simple black sleeveless top as well. Impossible to buy at the moment unless you want a hunch-making top.
Guessing she is either spring or Autumn, this is hard for winter or summer to do, we haven’t got brown or orange. Summer has a beige and pinky beige. This is really interesting how does winter do a nude lip? Guess you have to do a light pink?
Winter can do white under the eyebrow but would have to experiment with blacks, greys, blues, purples, pinks, and maybe greens.
Like her eyebrow look.
Would love to try this look, but doubt I could look as good as her, guess you just have to aim for it and hope you look better than the ugly post-COVID look someone has miscreated for Miss Kitty.
To get backcombed volume dry shampoo is good and elnette hairspray.
Then just curl the ends with whatever you can get hold of.
You can make rag rollers with covid fashion.
Hope this inspires you.
I’m not a makeup artist or hairdresser, so it is just about playing around with your makeup till you get a look that works for you.
Looking at vintage photographs and ignoring modern weird advertising might help you.
Have to say I’m not a model, but I don’t want to make myself look worse than I am. Even though I’m body dysmorphic, my look isn’t as bad as what I’m being told. Invested quite a lot of money into the beauty industry and the Stay Young club that started pre covid. I’m not being paid to make Miss Kitty look like a dog. So not willing to buy clothes that make me look worse than I am or in fact bend my body and back out of shape so much that it injures me, (like in summer), haven’t done anything to deserve that. I believe all women should be able to look good whatever age, size, or body shape, if they choose to.
Hopefully, properly fitting clothes will have to come back if this planet is going to work properly again. How do people go to work in the clothes that gave me an injury? Are we not supposed to live or go to work again?
This Christmas is the worst I have ever had and that is saying something. Covid Christmas was terrible but Mariah Carey saved the day at the last minute. This year should have been good to make up for COVID-19 Christmas. You can’t just try and save things at the last minute every year. It is just long in the tooth this year.
Anyway, this is here for anyone who looks like Sharon Tate, I would do the brunette 60’s look at the beginning of the film, had a dress like that before, and have had my hair like that also, proving some looks would suit my build in the 60’s even though we are being told it was all just for big busts.
Eye of the devil film
synopsis
Product Description
A forbidding French chateau and its surrounding vineyards are the setting for Gothic thrills in this haunting excursion into the occult. Deborah Kerr and David Niven, costarring for the first time since Separate Tables, lead an exceptional cast (Sharon Tate, Donald Pleasence, Flora Robson, David Hemmings, Edward Mulhare, Emlyn Williams) in a chiller reminiscent of the later The Wicker Man, in which an innocent outsider to an enclosed world peels back layers of mystery to reveal a shocking truth. Kerr plays the outsider, the wife of a troubled marquis (Niven), who discovers – perhaps too late – that her husband’s ancestral chateau is home to witches, warlocks, a sinister priest, 12 hooded figures…and terror.
Review
This is one of the black-and-white films in film history that is timeless. After going back in film history, some can become dated. The intriguing link to Maxine Saunders keeps an enticing interest going to what this film is actually about. The acting is unsurpassable compared to some of the modern dross coming out in the modern world and Sharon Tate is beautifully stunning, providing one of the best fashion blogs to date. Highly recommend it, but as Debora Kerr nervously questions, ‘What is this film actually about’.
