Mrs. Brown

Does anyone out there have a pic of a kilt done up in the Brown family tartan? I'd love to see one. Swatches don't do it justice I'm sure.

Brown tartan is fairly rare, I'm in the process of researching kilt makers to have a Brown "tank" made. I've narrowed my choices down to two.
When my yearly bonus check arrives, the order goes in!

(I'm a Brown from my mothers side.)

The F-H.C.A.G. and I really enjoyed this movie. Certainly an interesting look at Queen Victoria and the dichotomy between the public façade and the needs of the real person behind that role. Billy Connolly did well in Mr. Brown's the transition between duty and obsession. Highly recommended , though a warning to those viewers weaned on modern movies - there is a dearth of “big action sequences”, like life this film is filled with the small moments that wind up meaning so much.

Cheers

I thought it was Queen Victoria. I haven't seen it but always thought of renting it (if still available).

Here is what it says on the IMDB

Plot summary for
Mrs Brown (1997)

Queen Victoria is deeply depressed after the death of her husband, disappearing from public. Her servant Brown, who adores her, through caress and admiration brings her back to life, but that relationship creates scandalous situation and is likely to lead to monarchy crisis.

It was Victoria, not Elizabeth.

Too much Masterpiece theater and Glenda Jackson as a lad a guess.
