Renowned for steamy melodramas, Lana Turner rarely starred in lavish costume dramas. But Diane was an exception that showcased her beauty and poise amid the finery of Renaissance France. Turner plays Diane de Poitiers in this historical romance, her last film under contract to M-G-M. The story begins in the mid-1500s. A marriage between France's Prince Henri (Roger Moore) and Italy's Catherine de Medici (Marisa Pavan) has the potential to establish peace, so Diane is asked to tutor Henri in the ways of a courtier. Fencing and etiquette are part of the instruction; falling in love is not. Diane and Henri begin an affair that continues despite the royal union and precipitates a Medici plot to wrest control of France. Review: fascinating historical women: Diane de Portiers and Catherine de Medici - If you love Lana Turner films and or history like i do this movie is a win win!....Lana is terrific as Diana de Portiers mistress of Henri II Valois of France.....the only thing off about her being cast as Diane is that she is too beautiful to be Diane. Diane was an average looking woman but she had great fashion sense and style she was almost old enough to be Henri's mother but she was very glamorous and youthful for her age gap with Henri....Henri was married to Catherine de Medici a powerhouse of a queen that was plain in looks but her intelligence and brilliance at handling the reigns of government were unparalleled at this time in French history. The country was being torn apart by religious wars between the Huguenots (protestants) and the Catholics....she inherited a mess and her sons were poorly equipted to manage on their own as they were weak and easily flattered by powerful men with their own agendas. The story in this movie has Hollywood taking as usual poetic license to make it more interesting and intriguing that what actually transpired during this time but if it does nothing else it makes the viewer more interested in learning more about this woman and how she was treated more like the actual queen of France than Catherine was when Henri was alive...once he dies in a tragic accident....Catherine gets her time in the sun and Diane is exiled from court.....this film is wonderful and the real women in this film..Diane de Portiers and Catherine de Medici are certainly worth seeking out books to learn more about these fascinating real women of French history. Review: A wonderful film.. - Lana Turner is so astute and involving in her portrayal of Diane that you are caught up right off, as she brings you into her life of intrigue, mystery, love, and tragedy. Lana Turenr always had that way of looking and speaking so that you feel she is speaking and looking at you. She is not a great great actress, but a very good one, vastly underrated. Diane is one her best, along with Peyton Place, Imitation of Life, By Love Possessed, Portrait In Black, Madame X, and The Rains of Ranchipur. This film is spectacular, in cinemascope, with the evil Marisa Pavan as Catherine De Medici, a startling performance. She had such gifts that were not used!! Roger More is very fine as are all the cast memembers. Not to be overlooked as it was in the 50s when I saw it first run. Buy this and play it for years. One magnificent scene after another! The Miklos Roza score is indeed one of his best.Check out too "Lust For Life" for Roza greatness. Note: The credits for "Diane" have a crown and draperies beneath it.. it is the same credit backdrop for Grace Kelly's fabulous "The Swan. MGM was getting cheap. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00D2CRZ60 | | Actors | Lana Turner | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #76,848 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #12,025 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (104) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Release date | May 28, 2013 | | Run time | 1 hour and 50 minutes | | Studio | Warner Archive | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Lana Turner - **Format:** NTSC - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 50 minutes ## Images ![Diane - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b+NnWPxOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fascinating historical women: Diane de Portiers and Catherine de Medici *by H***F on November 14, 2015* If you love Lana Turner films and or history like i do this movie is a win win!....Lana is terrific as Diana de Portiers mistress of Henri II Valois of France.....the only thing off about her being cast as Diane is that she is too beautiful to be Diane.

Great cast and lavish production values. A good fifties extravaganza in Technicolor. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3928137-diane](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/3928137-diane) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
