As one historical drama ends, another hits its stride. Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) takes his delicate negotiations for a French alliance in the colonies’ war against the British all the way to the court of Versailles, where King Louis XVI busies himself with his hobbies while child queen Marie Antoinette charms the unofficial ambassador over a game of cards. And just when Franklin’s ego is being stroked, a visit from across the ocean could bring him back down to earth.
