In the post The Devil Wears..., I featured two songs from the movie, The Devil Wears Prada. I did not really fill out the post, so in this edition of Wednesday Once Over, I would like to start over.
Book to Film -
- Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel
Screen Adaptation -
- 2006
- Meryl Streep ("Miranda Priestly" - fashion magazine editor)
- Anne Hathaway ("Andrea "Andy" Sachs - Priestly's co-assistant)
- Emily Blunt ("Emily Charlton" - co-assistant)
- Stanley Tucci ("Nigel" - art director)

The Devil Wears Prada Awards -
Meryl Streep
- 14th Oscar nomination
- Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical
Cast -
Critical acclaim and nominations
Interesting Facts -
- Fashion designers did not appear as themselves "for fear of displeasing U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour...inspiration for Priestly" (Wikipedia)
- Designers allowed clothes and accessories to be featured in the film
- "one of the most expensively costumed films in history" (Wikipedia)
The full storyline can be found on Wikipedia.
And then there was the music list for The Devil Wears Prada.
In the The Devil Wears... post, the songs I featured were indeed in the film. Interesting note, though, is that they were not in the movie's soundtrack album. On the other hand, Alanis Morissette's version of Seal's "Crazy" was in the soundtrack album.
The balance of fashion and music was on an even keel.
My take away -
The Devil Wears Prada is powerful and intriguing. In real life, I can imagine intimidation from many angles - such as those featured in the film. I can somewhat imagine inspiration for those looking to get their foot in the fashion door. In the end, The Devil Wears Prada is a phenomenal movie worth watching.
