Photographer Annie Leibovitz picked up some odds and ends from a costume shop and the final ensemble wound up looking more like a cross between Butch Cassidy and The Sting.

And yet Renoir also manages to pay tribute to loneliness, love and the more harmless foibles of servants and bourgeois along the way. Added to priceless observations, this film treats us to the acting talents of Renoir himself, as the oafish, big-spirited Octave, who in the name of civility and social convention must see his true and secret love unrequited.
