For Art Deco enthusiast the chandelier at the beginning of the scene and at 3:56 is a piece by Marius Sabino. The sconce at 3:59 most probably by J.E. Ruhlmann. Top class French decoration for the 1930's.
It is unquestionably a Sabino chandelier, nobody has ever made a replica of this particular piece/model aside that it will make no sense to replicate this complicated piece just to appear for a few seconds, they could have just used a cheap generic 1920's chandelier. Also, the chandelier could have been added in post production which I doubt it but is Sabino either way. There is currently one for sale in New York, same model, for $40,000 @@dicksteptoe9199

I loved Margaret's character. Loved it. She was the classiest woman on this show. She brought me to tears in this scene. She was wonderful. I'll never forget this show. The best show ever.
She was a manipulative terrible person. She lied on her boyfriend in Ireland claiming rape, abandoned her brother 2 raise a bunch of siblings by himself. Cheated on nucky before he was a cheat, conned him and sold his property, then tried to abandon him without saying a word with Owen. After things didn't work out, she only came back to ask for money
@@ppap9818 and Am I not merciful! Made my day. I thought I was the only Person recognizing this. She always looked like "oh, I'm so unguilty". To cheat, have "fun" and being manipulative is more logical then raise your kids first? Incredibly selfish, specially for the 1920's. Definatly not a Carmela Soprano, she was just an outsider.
i bet 30k was a boatload of money back in those days.. The average hourly wage in 1939 was $.30 and the average income for a household in 1939 was $1,368. Almost a hundred years ago, in 1939, a car cost around $750 and a house about $4,000. You could drive to the store for $.10 a gallon, purchase bread for $.09 a loaf, and buy milk for $.23 per gallon
Margaret's character probably changed the most in the series. If you see her first scene...and her last scene. You see the character made some tough decisions.
@@willywiggles893 It is a Sopranos reference. It was something that Tony said to Carmela when they were going a hard time in their relationship. Tony said it to Carmela as way to say how she acts so high and mighty and pretends that she doesn't know how he makes his money.
Margaret was truly the only character who made it out of BE who you knew was going to be okay. Eli was sort of up in the air - Nucky gave him that big bag of money in their last meeting but it was questionable if June would take him back. Hopefully she did because she and their children were all Eli had left in his world and life. Poor Gillian was left an empty shell....perhaps a little karmic payback but she too was a repeated victim of circumstances. I kind of wonder what happened to Margaret and her children Teddy and Emily after this. We really didn't see Teddy and Emily after Season 2 for various reasons but honestly they really were just minor characters and I think the writers couldn't see any other way of working them into the subsequent seasons and story lines. Presumably Margaret and the kids went on with their lives and perhaps hopefully she finally met a husband who was not an abusive drunk like her 1st husband Hans or a cheating criminal like Nucky, although in comparison Nucky was a much better husband compared to Hans. He truly loved Margaret but just couldn't help his criminal and dark tendencies.
I honestly wanted to see Marga lose go broke and love in poverty for being such a gold digging back stabbin snake.. and Gillian to die. Nucky should have lived. He's the only one that tried to make right. Even Margaret didn't try to make things right she capitalized on what she stole
Yeah, Gillian had a tough life. But she still killed an innocent person. I do feel bad for her, but you should never commit an evil act in the name of "the greater good"
@@ArkansasGamerGillian was never sane. I wouldn’t blame an insane person for murder, their brain is off. Nucky is the one to blame by pimping her off at 13 years old to be continuously r worded by the old commodore.
Penso che questa scena sia il riassunto della vita di Nucky. Nel momento in cui balla e chiude gli occhi è come se stesse finalmente abbandonando il mondo sporco degli inganni in cui vive per entrare in quello sereno dell'amore con Margaret. Ma nel momento stesso in cui li chiude si accendono le luci, si sveglia e tutto torna alla "normalità" ricordandogli così che non può fuggire da quella sporca vita
Margaret betrayed nucky the most. Nuckey wouldn't have had to go underground and get in worse shit if she didn't steal the land money for the new road. That was Nuckys retirement once he got out of politics. Thst was supposed to provide for the kids and Margaret
The final season gets a lot of flack for how rushed it felt but that was due to the studio execs only giving them 8 episodes to finish the story. Considering what they were given I think they did a great job of tying up as many loose ends as possible while maintaining high writing standards. This scene is one of many great scenes in Season 5
im still on season 1, i got so curious that i started reading the wikifan page. i was really confused with her character development throughout since i'm somewhat hopeful for her and her relationship with nucky. i love how they build up their pairing but when i knew all that betrayal and stuff happened, i stopped watching it.
How come we never got to see the kids who are supposed to be teenagers like Tommy Darmody in 1931. We would have love to see them being fleshed out more on what their doing right now like Tony Soprano's kids and Don Draper's kids which include Sally getting some more screentime often.
Margaret is perhaps the most polarizing character on the show. I myself liked her and find many others who did as well, while others vehemently couldnt stand her and call her the worst character on the show. In a show about gangsters, i think her actions werent any worse than the gangster she was involved with.
Personally, she is a well made and well played character all around. But there was a sort of dissonance between her words and actions. If we note that she calls out criminals on their actions while benefitting from and often capitalizing her gains from said actions, being willfully blind to how they affect others in the same or arguably worse than those criminals she condemns, well... Self-righteous to a fault to say the least.
Margaret was a nice woman but she betrayed too many people. Her family plus nucky damn. She’s a good mother and her ex husband was a pos. All in all good show and she was a good actress.
I wish she and Owen would be together some where behind the scenes, i Totally stopped watching this show in S3 episode 10 after the Death of Owen Slater
Margaret was back stabbing, self serving, groveling when she needed money from nucky and the queen of double standards. Her lack of ownership and nagging make her even more unbearable. Nucky should have got rid of that charity case long ago.

@@jimmykray9583 Nucky tried to help Gideon out as much as he could. What he did was absolutely terrible, but he did feel remorseful and he tried to help get her out of that mental institution.

@@ArkansasGamer Tried to help her out how? by selling her to raped at 12 years old…?

They are so happy dancing together, and then they are interrupted. Just like real life. Many touching moments in the finale.
