		Irene Adler is not a woman for whom idleness holds the slightest appeal.
		But Irene has always chafed under idle conditions and Paris, she says, "is pretty and urbane, but hardly a center of excitement." So when Charles Frederick Worth, the Parision King of Courture, invites Irene to become his "mannequin de ville," to wear the fabulous Worth creations to stimulate his trade, Irene leaps at the chance.
		For Irene, Nell and Godfrey are drawn into a series of events that will compel Irene to the one place that she daren't go--and to the one man she must not confront.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle
		The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle is the not very graceful swan song of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals of the thirties.
		Vernon and Irene Castle, a husband and wife dance team, were a true sensation of the American vaudeville circuit in the years immediately prior to World War I, but their career was cut short by Vernon's death in the war.
		Irene Castle, who served as story consultant, had many clashes with Ginger (unsurprisingly) over clothes, hair length, etc. Her presence also probably helped keep the story wholesome and dignified, although apparently the Castles were more rambunctious than either Fred or Ginger.

		Castle's 1919 book about her husband, there was no question among the studio executives who would play this history-making dance team.
		Finally, the story of the Castles is interesting from a historical perspective -- not so much as a demonstration of their innovation and influence however, but rather as a reminder of what dancing looked like before Ginger and Fred came along.
		Overall, CASTLES is not as rousing as the other Rogers-Astaire films, but it is still worth seeing if for no other reason than it helps the audience to better appreciate the singular influence of Fred and Ginger and their films on the evolution of dance in the 20th century.

		The film's production was hampered by the on-set presence of the real Irene Castle, whose insistence upon accuracy at all costs drove everyone to distraction--especially Ginger Rogers, who felt as though she was being treated like a marionette rather than an actress.
		Walter, the "severest critic servant" character played by Walter Brennan, was in reality a fl man. RKO was nervous about depicting a strong, equal-footing friendship between the white Castles and their fl retainer, so a Caucasian actor was hired for the role.
		Castle was understandably incensed by this alteration, and for the rest of her days chastised RKO for its cowardice.

	Amazon.de: Castle Rouge (Irene Adler Mysteries): English Books: Carole Nelson Douglas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Blend Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes with Dracula lore, toss in a copious complement of czarist Russian history, and the result is Carole Nelson Douglas's Castle Rouge, her grisly but gripping sequel to 2001's Chapel Noir.
		The American adventuress who bested Holmes and thereby won his admiration (in "A Scandal in Bohemia") thought she'd cornered the elusive Ripper on the grounds of the 1889 world's fair in Paris, but instead, he fled to Eastern Europe after kidnapping her friend and biographer, Penelope "Nell" Huxleigh.
		Yet it's unfortunate that this sixth Irene Adler yarn focuses more on the prudish Nell and her discomforts as a hostage (no proper corsets-- how shocking!) than on its more intrepid chief protagonist, or even on Pink, whose capacity for audacious exploits was better realized in Chapel Noir.
