    NEW YORK, NY, October 20, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Christopher Flach's film "Madeleine Castaing," is the documentary that explores the personality and influence of the French decorator and antique dealer. The film celebrates Castaing's neoclassical taste in decor and her glamorous appearance even into her 90s. The film reintroduces her taste for Napoleon III furnishings and 18th century English furniture to collectors of art and design. Christopher Petkanas writes "Its a fountain of theatrical reminiscences."
