Take a look at those American westerns that came out in such numbers during the late sixties and early seventies... this is only from the top of my head so I'm sure there are hundreds of other examples. The dress was as accurate as I can tell but the hairstyles! you can always date a movie, almost regardless of the historical setting, by the hairstyles. They tend to represent the current mode more than the historical fashion.
