Winona Ryder's beauty


Though this is such an old film and may not ever be read, I have to say, after rewatching it a few days ago, that Winona Ryder, who has always been beautiful to me, was never more so than in this movie. Granted, she was only seventeen when this was made, but she looks older, at least to my eyes.

I did wonder, though, if there was something about her bare legs the director wanted to cover up. She's always show wearing colored stockings, and even the IMDB trivia section states that a body double was used in her one scene allegedly showing her bare legs.

With regards to the stockings and leg double, I imagine it has to do with the fact she was 17 at the time, as you mentioned.

It's not her bare legs, it's just a shot of her legs walking through the school corridor.

The reason why it's a double is just because she wasn't there to shoot (because she was minor she couldn't do long hours).

It's all explained in the DVD featurettes.
