 A few quotes from the film are directly taken from Marie  Antoinettes actual life and from the biography by Antonia Fraser  that the film is loosely based upon. Louis XVs comment about Marie  Antoinettes bosom upon her arrival in France, Marie Antoinettes  comment on having enough diamonds when presented with the  opportunity of receiving some as a gift from Madame du Barry,  Maries comment to Madame du Barry about there being a lot of people  at Versailles on the day of their infamous first exchange of words,  and Maries comment to her husband, Louis XVI, during a gambling  party, explaining that Louis told her she could throw the party but  never specified for how long are all actual exchanges of words and  conversations from different events in the queens life.
