if you mean the Zeffirelli version I remember watching that movie with mum, but not at school. It's considered a really good version IIRC - there was a time back in the Sixties and Seventies when Italian cinema was actually really innovative and cool and ground-breaking and stuff. Then...stuff happened.
Man, I really don't know if I'm even sending you on a wild goose chase but I remember a lot of historical movies with erotic or semi-erotic scenes. And there are also some "historical" movies of the period that are actually really stupid but I watch sometimes just for the setting/costume porn (e.g. the "Angélique, Marquise des Anges" series which is not erotic except the occasional heaving bosom palpitating out of its bodice but it's just...stupid historical romance novel in movie form - but it's just. So pretty. If you can stand Michèle Mercier looking like she's about to fall asleep at all times and everybody pretending really hard 1960s Robert Hossein with fake scars isn't incredible bara hotness despite all evidence to the contrary, at least. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, I know it's stupid, 'k?).
I watched A LOT of Versailles No Bara when I was a little babynon, so my mind kind of...fixed on that kind of pre-revolutionary French Royal Guard uniform - tight trousers, knee-high boots, high-collared jackets, and floofy chemises underneath. Oh, those floofy chemises. Nobody could wear a floofy chemise better than André Grandier.
Also Hungarian Hussar uniform! I remember a fanart from ages ago with Hungary wearing a Hussar uniform, augh, it's probably lost to the fog of time now. If you like stuff that probably took ages to close up but looks really pretty and shiny Hungarian and Balcanic old uniforms are the way to go.
I also really like the terribly fake, vaguely "Greek-Egyptian-exotic" dresses artists came up with to represent Sybils, magicians and enchantress, especially 1800s Decadent and Pre-Raphaelite artists. Like the coupleCirces by Waterhouse.
