Bullet Boy's Saul Dibb is directing from a script by Jeffery Hatcher based on Amanda Foreman's biography Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.
The 18th century duchess, played by Knightley, was known for her beauty and charisma but was infamous for her extravagance with gambling and romance. Princess Diana was her descendent.
