00:02:07 Halt!
00:02:08 Where's the Marquis de Maynes?
00:02:12 Come on! Where is he?
00:03:12 ln the name of the Queen!
00:03:19 Noel, the Marquis de Maynes.
00:03:25 Your Majesty.
00:03:29 l have never seen France
00:03:33 We were not expecting you till tomorrow.
00:03:35 You summoned me.
00:03:40 Leave us, please.
00:03:45 - l am angry with you, sir.
00:03:48 Very angry! You know why, of course.
00:03:52 - Could it be for fighting Count de Talles?
00:03:55 - l only scratched him a little.
00:03:59 And five minutes later,
00:04:02 An unfortunate accident.
00:04:04 And that brilliant conversationalist,
00:04:07 The Duke fights tolerably well.
00:04:11 He had no chance at all.
00:04:14 l will not have you killing off my nobles,
00:04:20 ln times like these,
00:04:24 Now, what was it all about,
00:04:27 - l really forget.
00:04:31 De Talles had the effrontery to put himself
00:04:35 As for Ramont, let me see...
00:04:39 As for Ramont?
00:04:42 A delicate matter.
00:04:44 He spoke disrespectfully of...
00:04:48 - Forgive me.
00:04:53 A goddess.
00:04:57 Now, the thing that l want...
00:05:05 l found one of these under my pillow.
00:05:07 This morning, the King discovered one
00:05:09 "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity."
00:05:12 The people that write such things,
00:05:16 - Us, Your Majesty.
00:05:18 Our rights, our lands, our heads.
00:05:22 Our heads?
00:05:23 Don't worry about this Marcus Brutus,
00:05:27 l shall be glad
00:05:36 There was another matter
00:05:39 This, too, is personal,
00:06:05 My dancing class.
00:06:07 How does one qualify for admission?
00:06:09 One has to be wellborn, under 19,
00:06:14 Now, you are a marquis,
00:06:19 Your Majesty knows
00:06:25 All the same, l think it's time that you did.
00:06:27 Someday you might run into a sword.
00:06:30 lt would be a pity if that were the end
00:06:34 Your Majesty commands me to marry?
00:06:42 May l ask one final favor?
00:06:45 You select my bride.
00:06:49 l think you'll like this child.
00:06:57 Aline, this is the Marquis de Maynes.
00:06:59 lt seems that your dancing has made
00:07:03 He wishes to express his admiration.
00:07:05 Cousin, this is my protégé,
00:07:12 Charming.
00:07:17 You dance delightfully.
00:07:22 - A little, sir.
00:07:25 The clavichord.
00:07:26 And l imagine you are skillful
00:07:29 Yes, sir. l knit and sew.
00:07:33 l have read the plays of Corneille,
00:07:38 l did not understand a word of them.
00:07:42 l don't cook too well,
00:07:45 although l prefer snakes and ladders.
00:07:47 l have a nodding acquaintance
00:07:50 astronomy, philosophy, and botany.
00:07:52 l'm afraid l gave up algebra when l was 12.
00:07:56 - She also has spirit, cousin.
00:07:59 May l have the honor of waiting upon you
00:08:02 l also play chess...
00:08:04 though l regret l am unfamiliar
00:08:07 Aline will instruct you, won't you, Aline?
00:08:11 lf you say so. l'll speak to Father
00:08:15 l shall write to him.
00:08:16 l shall tell him it is my earnest desire
00:08:20 good friends.
00:08:35 BlNET presents his famous actors
00:09:19 Lenore? lt's me.
00:09:24 Don't be nervous.
00:09:26 Forgive my prolonged neglect, my pet.
00:09:29 For here l am again, at your feet.
00:09:35 How softly your skin shines
00:09:48 Darling? lt's me! l'm back!
00:09:54 Monsieur Binet's charming troupe
00:10:01 Where is she? My Lenore.
00:10:04 - She's not here.
00:10:07 - She's gone to Paris.
00:10:10 - To see her family.
00:10:13 - Father? She never had a father.
00:10:15 Never had a sister, a brother, a father,
00:10:19 - She has no one but me, has she?
00:10:25 A husband?
00:10:29 Monsieur Binet,
00:10:33 Are you by any chance trying to tell me
00:10:38 Yes, indeed. Well, practically.
00:10:40 - Practically?
00:10:42 - All but, what?
00:10:44 She got tired of waiting for you
00:10:48 And now she goes to the altar
00:10:52 Paris. Tuesday. Noon.
00:11:15 Lenore, my bride. My beautiful.
00:11:20 So far, remarkably little.
00:11:25 - Roses.
00:11:27 Are they? What a pity they fade so quickly.
00:11:31 These will not fade, my beloved.
00:11:35 Diamonds.
00:11:36 l thought of your eyes
00:11:39 Just my eyes? How sweet.
00:11:43 l must see you start thinking
00:12:07 - l'm the happiest of men.
00:12:10 Well, not quite.
00:12:11 They say you sell more sausages
00:12:14 - Except for the Delmore brothers.
00:12:17 Are they married?
00:12:19 - They're dead.
00:12:21 But with you at my side,
00:12:25 than anyone else in France.
00:12:27 Forgive the intrusion,
00:12:31 forbids osculation in public conveyances.
00:12:34 First offenders
00:12:36 - Hello, my pet. How are you?
00:12:39 We're all out of our minds.
00:12:42 Lunatic! l'm on my way to my wedding
00:12:45 - Stop the coach!
00:12:47 And Lenore desires to be married.
00:12:51 l certainly do.
00:12:53 "Lenore"? "Darling"?
00:12:57 Yes, l know him.
00:13:00 He's a stupid fellow and an awful liar.
00:13:05 Who is he?
00:13:07 - Who are you?
00:13:09 They call me Andre Moreau.
00:13:11 - Whoever you are, get out this instant!
00:13:16 That wedding gown
00:13:19 but about this marriage, l have my doubts.
00:13:21 - l'm not interested.
00:13:23 - You're wrong for each other.
00:13:27 We have here a middle-aged gentleman,
00:13:31 What does he ask of a wife?
00:13:35 the little ones at her feet,
00:13:37 while he tells of the gossip
00:13:40 He wants a mere half-dozen children.
00:13:43 And who does he pick for a wife?
00:13:46 A traveling player,
00:13:49 but never, l fancy, as the mother of 12.
00:13:51 - Did you say an actress?
00:13:56 Hasn't she told you?
00:13:58 Lenore is an actress.
00:14:01 lndifferent? l am superb.
00:14:05 Know what that means? One night, in the
00:14:10 And while you're having pickles,
00:14:13 - l have only one urge at the moment.
00:14:16 To marry me.
00:14:19 - Marry you?
00:14:21 Why didn't you tell me?
00:14:23 - Why didn't you ask me?
00:14:28 Darling.
00:14:46 But... my other bridegroom...
00:14:50 Your other bridegroom
00:15:00 l shall always remember him.
00:15:09 And now, to make you respectable.
00:15:12 - Excuse me, my darling.
00:15:15 - Philippe will be waiting.
00:15:17 Philippe de Valmorin. My best friend.
00:15:20 He promised to be here at noon
00:15:23 Andre!
00:15:25 Don't be nervous.
00:15:29 What's your name?
00:15:31 lvan the Terrible. What's yours?
00:15:34 lf you're Andre Moreau, you must go
00:15:48 All right, come on!
00:15:56 - Andre, stop!
00:16:00 - Andre, what happened?
00:16:03 Owing to circumstances
00:16:06 l'm afraid there'll be a slight delay
00:16:09 Don't be nervous.
00:16:17 - What's that?
00:16:21 What do you mean?
00:16:23 - ls it Andre?
00:16:28 He's coming in. Here.
00:16:33 Good morning.
00:16:35 - Thank heaven you're here.
00:16:40 - What's happened here, a hurricane?
00:16:44 - They came for Philippe.
00:16:48 What for? Did they take him?
00:16:50 No, he's safe. But they're still outside
00:16:53 See? Hiding there in the doorway.
00:16:55 They looked everywhere.
00:16:57 - lt was dreadful.
00:17:06 Andre, you're dressed very oddly.
00:17:11 Well, not yet, darling, but it threatens.
00:17:14 l've a young lady downstairs in the coach
00:17:17 She's made two attempts since breakfast,
00:17:29 l've heard of the bridegroom
00:17:31 - but never the best man. What happened?
00:17:35 "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,
00:17:38 l'm Marcus Brutus.
00:17:41 We even smuggled some
00:17:43 - We?
00:17:45 United against the aristocratic tyrants.
00:17:47 l take it aristocratic tyrants
00:17:51 - Father, please.
00:17:53 but by birth l am an aristocrat.
00:17:55 - And so are you.
00:17:57 - That pamphlet is high treason.
00:18:03 Well, what do you think of it?
00:18:05 The grammar is appalling.
00:18:07 you doubled a negative, split an infinitive,
00:18:11 lnfinitives, negatives, commas.
00:18:14 He prattles punctuation
00:18:16 ln agony? l wasn't aware of it.
00:18:18 You never take anything seriously.
00:18:21 Why do you fight with your best friend
00:18:25 - What's to be done, Andre?
00:18:29 We've got to get him
00:18:31 How?
00:18:33 l haven't the slightest idea.
00:18:37 Unless...
00:18:40 Get into this.
00:18:41 Listen carefully.
00:18:44 Go boldly out,
00:18:46 No one will question you,
00:18:48 She may become violent. Drive her to
00:18:52 - Five crowns.
00:18:55 l'll get the money. Meet me at
00:18:59 ls that clear? Off with you.
00:19:04 Goodbye, Mother.
00:19:13 - l'm sorry, Father.
00:19:16 Try not to dishonor it.
00:19:22 Thank you, Father.
00:19:31 Good luck.
00:19:44 lt's all right.
00:19:46 He's very young. Look after him.
00:19:50 As you've always looked after me.
00:19:53 God bless you, Andre.
00:19:58 And now for the stuff
00:20:00 and princes of fools. Money.
00:20:03 Andre, you be careful what you do.
00:20:05 Precisely my intention.
00:20:08 the eminent lawyer Fabian.
00:20:13 ls this the bald pate of the lawyer Fabian?
00:20:18 Yes.
00:20:21 - Moreau, l can't see you.
00:20:25 Be good enough to make out an advance
00:20:30 Next year's allowance? lmpossible!
00:20:33 Figaro, you may leave us.
00:20:38 But there is no more money. None at all.
00:20:40 - Didn't you get my letter?
00:20:43 But l wrote and told you
00:20:47 Stopped?
00:20:48 The gentleman is no longer able
00:20:51 Put that thing down and get out of here.
00:20:53 l shall go to this gentleman
00:20:57 - What is his name?
00:20:59 lmpossible.
00:21:02 You know l can't do that, Andre.
00:21:05 l know nothing at all!
00:21:10 For 30-odd years...
00:21:12 l have made a profession of ignorance with
00:21:17 my obscure beginnings,
00:21:19 lf you fidget, l may draw blood.
00:21:23 Yes, my birth.
00:21:24 Being adequately financed
00:21:27 for my arrival in what is termed
00:21:31 l was content
00:21:34 But now l need money.
00:21:37 lt is at this moment
00:21:41 that his duty is done...
00:21:43 and that there should be
00:21:46 for his mischievous youth.
00:21:50 A lamentable conclusion in any event,
00:21:54 We must therefore face the fact...
00:21:57 that the hour has come
00:22:00 and unmask this philandering gentleman.
00:22:05 Who is he, Fabian? Who is my father?
00:22:08 No! l won't tell.
00:22:11 You're making me nervous again.
00:22:13 l can't betray a client's confidence.
00:22:15 Look at my hand,
00:22:20 What is his name, Fabian?
00:22:25 Count de Gavrillac.
00:22:29 - The address?
00:22:31 The manor of Gavrillac. Near Dieppe.
00:22:49 Here l am, Andre!
00:22:55 All in one piece? Where's the lady?
00:22:59 - Come on, boy. Where's Lenore?
00:23:03 You mislaid her?
00:23:06 What is she, a button, a handkerchief that
00:23:10 You dunderhead, where is she?
00:23:12 When we stopped at the city gates,
00:23:15 before l could catch her.
00:23:17 Say, did she leave any message?
00:23:21 She just left.
00:23:23 l'm sorry, Andre. l let you down again.
00:23:30 The oceans are full of fish
00:23:33 To contemplate one woman
00:23:36 may be for some men, but not for me.
00:23:39 Come on, boy. To Gavrillac!
00:23:53 lt's coming, Andre, and no one can stop it.
00:23:55 The apple cart the tyrants are riding
00:23:58 l tell you, it can't be much longer.
00:24:02 Longer?
00:24:04 l think it's already happened.
00:24:21 Happy the rascal traveling life's byway...
00:24:24 to whom the gods say,
00:24:26 "You may have lost Diana on the highway
00:24:28 "But, look, there is Aphrodite in a ditch"
00:24:33 - Molière?
00:24:37 Andre Moreau at your service.
00:24:41 You make up poetry, Andre Moreau.
00:24:44 A carriage maker would be more apropos.
00:24:47 l suppose you don't know
00:24:54 Unfortunately, no.
00:24:56 - A broken heart, now...
00:24:59 l envy you.
00:25:10 The lady's carriage needs attention.
00:25:16 lt may take a little time.
00:25:18 Now, l happen to know of a nearby tavern
00:25:22 - We?
00:25:24 You'll need me to protect you
00:25:27 lncluding yourself?
00:25:29 You have a point.
00:25:31 lt won't be necessary. l'm not coming.
00:25:33 - Then l shall come with you.
00:25:37 To the ends of the earth,
00:25:40 l'm going home, and that's half a mile.
00:25:43 Half a mile with you
00:25:49 Milady...
00:25:54 Goodbye, poet.
00:25:55 Thank you for your rhyming.
00:26:00 Your coachman has abominable timing.
00:26:03 He mends your carriage
00:26:12 Goodbye.
00:26:31 Don't speak. Don't say a word. l love you.
00:26:34 You look at me astonished.
00:26:37 But...
00:26:40 l love you. Only you and you alone.
00:26:44 Do you believe a word l say?
00:26:47 My own ears find it hard enough to believe
00:26:51 One thing alone is clear.
00:26:54 without my knowing who you are, where
00:26:58 Where are you going to, by the way?
00:27:01 Let me read it in your hand.
00:27:08 Your line of lunar...
00:27:12 Your line of lunar indicates
00:27:15 to visit your mother.
00:27:18 My father.
00:27:21 lt's his birthday.
00:27:24 Why, yes. How did you know?
00:27:27 lt's nothing. Nothing at all.
00:27:30 No, it's amazing. Please, go on.
00:27:34 With pleasure.
00:27:37 Your Ring of Solomon tells me...
00:27:42 that you are the daughter of a count.
00:27:45 Why, it's true.
00:27:47 And...
00:27:48 in the far right-hand corner
00:27:53 you have a four-leaf clover
00:27:58 lncredible!
00:28:00 And on the scroll across the center...
00:28:04 l can almost see your name.
00:28:07 - Almost?
00:28:11 Tell me my name.
00:28:13 lt's...
00:28:18 Yes.
00:28:23 Gavrillac.
00:28:27 Why, it is! lt's Gavrillac.
00:28:29 My father's the Count de Gavrillac.
00:28:34 You don't look well.
00:28:37 No, l'm sorry, but forgive me. l must go.
00:28:41 No! You'll kill yourself!
00:28:45 Maybe that's the only practical solution.
00:28:50 That's better.
00:28:53 We're almost there now.
00:28:57 Look. There's my father's house.
00:29:02 We're home.
00:29:09 You must come in and rest a minute.
00:29:11 l know my father
00:30:50 How strange is the human heart.
00:30:54 ln life, we never met, my father and l.
00:30:57 No spark of love,
00:31:01 Yet, l look upon his face in death...
00:31:04 and l'm moved to tears.
00:31:07 Poor Andre.
00:31:10 No. Not poor Andre. Never poor Andre.
00:31:13 lf he finds and loses a father,
00:31:16 then discovers the maid is his sister,
00:31:21 Andre, what did she say
00:31:24 l told her nothing, nor shall l.
00:31:26 The old man kept his secret secure
00:31:29 Let him take it with him to heaven.
00:31:33 Won't you see her again?
00:31:38 l'd like her to know
00:31:45 l'd like you to know that, too, Andre.
00:31:52 Here's to you, my hothead...
00:31:54 so eager to solve at a blow
00:31:58 l doubt if there is a solution,
00:32:01 by heaven, we'll find it.
00:32:04 - Together.
00:32:07 - You there, innkeeper!
00:32:09 How much longer?
00:32:11 Five minutes, sir. Possibly ten.
00:32:15 - Tell the idiot to hurry.
00:32:19 Two hours to shoe a horse. Still not ready.
00:32:23 You know, he's good this Marcus Brutus.
00:32:28 "The grip of the aristocratic tyrants
00:32:31 "crushing them underfoot
00:32:35 - Treason.

00:32:45 lt's my men returning.
00:32:54 That horse in the yard, the gray, it's yours.
00:32:57 - Yes.
00:33:00 Philippe de Valmorin from Paris...
00:33:02 who's been writing and preaching treason
00:33:04 His name's Pierre Duval from Limoges on
00:33:09 - l'm not talking to you.
00:33:11 - We're architects from the south.
00:33:15 No, not him. He had no part in it.
00:33:18 - No part in what?
00:33:21 - Come on. We're late. lf you'll excuse us.
00:33:25 - You're under arrest.
00:33:30 - ls something the matter?
00:33:33 This man calls himself Marcus Brutus.
00:33:36 - His name is Pierre Duval.
00:33:41 Why, Duval...
00:33:43 how delightful to see you again after,
00:33:48 Forgive me
00:33:50 but you were only a boy when we last met
00:33:53 How is your dear mother?
00:33:58 - She's well, sir.
00:34:02 He, too, is well, sir.
00:34:03 Tell me, does he still play Vazique?
00:34:06 Occasionally, l believe. Yes, sir.
00:34:08 Be good enough
00:34:11 Sergeant. l fancy your men have a thirst.
00:34:14 Take them into the pump room
00:34:16 - Milord, l had no idea.
00:34:19 lnnkeeper, wine for my friends.
00:34:24 So they mistook you for Marcus Brutus.
00:34:27 Most interesting.
00:34:30 l'm deeply obliged to you
00:34:33 l would've done no less
00:34:38 He had the gall to smuggle
00:34:41 into Her Majesty's bedchamber.
00:34:44 l could hardly permit him
00:34:47 having promised myself
00:34:50 Pierre, we must go.
00:34:54 Wait. The cathedral will not run away.
00:34:58 And the title used by Marcus Brutus:
00:35:00 "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity."
00:35:03 Liberty must be rationed among the few
00:35:07 There's no such thing as equality.
00:35:09 Most men are born with the gutter
00:35:12 As for fraternity,
00:35:17 We stand alone at the head of the table...
00:35:19 and if ever our rights are challenged,
00:35:23 l look forward to making it
00:35:26 when l catch up with him, but l doubt
00:35:30 - The man is clearly a coward.
00:35:34 We're leaving.
00:35:36 A spineless upstart, who so far lacks
00:35:40 that he dare not even sign them
00:35:42 - Had he been born...
00:35:44 His race is as old,
00:35:47 l hardly think so.
00:35:49 His sentiments
00:35:52 the result of his unfortunate mother...
00:35:54 forming an attachment
00:36:02 - De Maynes, consider l struck that blow.
00:36:06 But first, shall we step into the garden,
00:36:10 Or would you prefer to be run through
00:36:13 l shall be happy to give you satisfaction.
00:36:24 Tell Father l didn't dishonor his sword
00:36:47 lf you've a shred of honor left,
00:36:50 The best swordsman in France
00:36:53 A blow was struck.
00:36:54 The blow was provoked, you know it,
00:37:14 lt won't be long now.
00:37:16 De Maynes is the ultimate swordsman.
00:37:18 No rival, no peer.
00:37:20 He practices daily with his private
00:38:16 You should've learned to use a sword
00:38:19 Pick it up.
00:38:41 Yes, you're going to die,
00:38:45 You're going to die as he died,
00:38:48 You'll be driven back, step by step,
00:38:54 And then l, Andre Moreau,
00:39:02 l swear it, Philippe.
00:39:04 By all that l hold sacred...
00:39:08 l swear you this man's death.
00:39:21 Go after him and take him!
00:39:23 Sergeant, to horse!
00:39:25 - Hurry, men. Mount up!
00:41:09 Try to remember him living.
00:41:13 The vigor, the zest of him alive.
00:41:19 lt helps.
00:41:22 l know.
00:41:24 Does it?
00:41:26 Thank you. l'll try.
00:41:29 lt may not heal your grief,
00:41:34 You speak of grief as if you knew it well.
00:41:37 Only too well.
00:41:43 l want to apologize.
00:41:45 Apologize?
00:41:48 My behavior in the coach...
00:41:52 it must've seemed strange.
00:41:55 lt did for a moment.
00:42:00 But just for a moment. lt's forgotten.
00:42:03 You're very understanding and generous.
00:42:06 And you are very kind and thoughtful
00:42:10 l shall never forget it.
00:42:12 l would not have intruded had l not been...
00:42:15 so gravely concerned over your future.
00:42:18 - My future?
00:42:21 What is to become of you, Aline?
00:42:24 - Forgive me.
00:42:34 You were saying?
00:42:38 l was saying,
00:42:41 left defenseless, alone in the world?
00:42:46 Alone, Andre?
00:42:49 You have friends?
00:42:52 - One or two, but...
00:42:55 Forgive me.
00:42:57 Undesirables?
00:42:59 Best to be sure.
00:43:02 Can one ever be sure of anyone?
00:43:07 People change so quickly.
00:43:15 However, l would say
00:43:17 is more reliable than some.
00:43:21 Yes. Her Majesty's appointed him
00:43:28 l'm afraid l can't discuss it now.
00:43:32 Andre, follow me.
00:43:35 Quickly, this way.
00:43:42 You're young and fair.
00:43:45 May providence guide you
00:43:55 Search the garden, men.
00:44:00 Sir! There he goes!
00:44:01 Come, men! This way!
00:44:50 Welcome, friend.
00:44:56 And "shh!" to you.
00:44:57 A hundred thousand...
00:45:01 What's your name?
00:45:05 ls that so? Glad to know you.
00:45:10 What's my name?
00:45:17 You're not interested.
00:45:19 ln that case...
00:45:20 l shall introduce myself to myself.
00:45:26 Do you know who this is?
00:45:29 Scaramouche.
00:45:35 Scaramouche, yes,
00:45:41 And why does he hide his face
00:45:48 You don't know?
00:45:50 Then l'll show you.
00:46:01 Scaramouche is...
00:46:17 Halt!
00:46:19 He can't be far. Search every house.
00:46:51 Where is Scaramouche? Find him.
00:46:54 Find that lazy,
00:46:57 He can't do this to me.
00:47:00 There you are.
00:47:03 The audience is waiting.
00:47:09 Been drinking again. Don't lie to me.
00:47:12 You idiot!
00:47:49 Get back on, you fool!
00:48:08 Scaramouche. Drunk again, huh?
00:48:33 So there you are.
00:48:36 - Do you know who this is?
00:48:40 Scaramouche, yes,
00:48:45 And why does he hide his face
00:48:50 You don't know?
00:48:52 Then l'll tell you.
00:48:55 Scaramouche is a fool.
00:49:00 A genius.
00:49:02 A ne'er-do-well.
00:49:05 A saint.
00:49:07 Fickle, adoring...
00:49:10 false and true together.
00:49:14 Woman's enemy.
00:49:17 And the one thing she can't do without:
00:49:32 Come on. Kiss me.
00:50:03 You wait...
00:00:28 Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo!
00:00:31 What a clown!
00:00:33 - What a cheat. What a viper!
00:00:36 What an artist!
00:00:40 - Thank you. You'll excuse me. Pardon me.
00:00:44 Knave, wretch, viper, villain!
00:00:48 Cur, dog, serpent, snake!
00:00:51 Stay where you are!
00:00:53 You, open the curtain.
00:00:56 We seek one Andre Moreau, a traitor.
00:01:01 l, sir, am Gaston Binet.
00:01:03 The Gaston Binet
00:01:05 Shut your mouth.
00:01:09 Who are you?
00:01:14 Harlequin.
00:01:16 Madame Frying Pan.
00:01:21 - Punchinello.
00:01:23 Pierrot.
00:01:28 Now, what about you?
00:01:34 Yes, you.
00:01:43 - Scaramouche.
00:01:46 No. l couldn't do that.
00:01:49 l might look into a mirror
00:01:52 and supposing it was as hideous as yours?
00:01:57 - Take off your mask.
00:02:00 Columbine knows, but will she tell?
00:02:04 l wonder.
00:02:08 What was the name
00:02:11 Andre Moreau. You know him?
00:02:18 l know a lot of men.
00:02:21 This Andre Moreau,
00:02:25 The same height and build perhaps?
00:02:27 The same brown eyes
00:02:30 and the wicked mouth
00:02:35 Now, make him take his mask off.
00:02:38 Take it off.
00:02:43 Take it off before l cut it off!
00:02:54 - Sergeant, bring your men!
00:02:57 - You, what's down there?
00:03:03 Don't go down there, sir!
00:03:06 Come back, sir! How dare you?
00:03:13 He didn't get far.
00:03:19 Andre Moreau, l think.
00:03:22 But l could've sworn that...
00:03:26 We've wasted enough time on this fool.
00:03:28 Sergeant, bring your men.
00:03:31 Follow me!
00:03:46 Here l am, my pet. Don't be nervous.
00:03:54 You saved my life. You love me.
00:03:58 Come to my arms.
00:03:59 - Sit down! l'll send for a doctor.
00:04:03 Your brain's gone.
00:04:06 - Not exactly, no.
00:04:09 The pain is exquisite,
00:04:13 - knowing that you love me.
00:04:17 l'd as soon love a boa constrictor.
00:04:19 ls that my beloved talking,
00:04:24 Listen, you clodpoll...
00:04:27 l may have saved your miserable life
00:04:31 but if you think that means
00:04:34 then maybe this
00:04:38 Magnificent!
00:05:12 lf it isn't my old friend Doutreval.
00:05:18 Give me a lesson now, Doutreval.
00:05:19 Just one more little lesson.
00:05:24 You teach me to fence,
00:05:27 l teach you to fence?
00:05:29 The way you teach the Marquis, Doutreval.
00:05:33 En garde.
00:05:40 The Marquis?
00:05:43 What marquis?
00:05:54 Where did you get this?
00:05:56 Who gave you this?
00:06:04 Don't you remember?
00:06:06 - You gave it to me, Doutreval.
00:08:06 Don't move. Who are you?
00:08:09 They call me Moreau.
00:08:11 l seek one Doutreval of Dijon,
00:08:15 What do you want with him?
00:08:17 His skill for my right arm,
00:08:21 his silence for my safety.
00:08:24 l know nothing of the sword.
00:08:28 There are many who can teach
00:08:31 But no one, they say,
00:08:35 Doutreval serves
00:08:38 They told me otherwise.
00:08:42 What did they tell you?
00:08:43 That Doutreval would never refuse
00:08:56 Mummers and friends, great news!
00:09:01 A certain gentleman of our acquaintance...
00:09:04 has decided to remain in Lacrosse...
00:09:07 and devote his time
00:09:11 Not merely for one night, but indefinitely.
00:09:15 l give you our new Scaramouche.
00:09:23 What a performer!
00:09:45 So now you're my leading lady,
00:09:50 - Shall we rehearse a little?
00:09:56 When you're placid, you are beautiful...
00:09:58 but when you are angry, you are superb.
00:10:01 You come one step closer,
00:10:04 - l can't imagine a more glorious death.
00:10:08 l know. But if l took any notice,
00:10:30 lf l hadn't come back, l doubt
00:10:52 Think of this, a sword is like a bird.
00:10:55 lf you clench it too tightly, you choke it.
00:10:58 Too lightly, and it flies away.
00:11:02 Now, all actions in fencing...
00:11:06 are made only with the fingers,
00:13:05 Good people of Lacrosse.
00:13:08 Now, let me read you a letter from Paris.
00:13:15 "We, the management
00:13:18 "have the pleasure
00:13:21 "to the Gaston Binet
00:13:25 "featuring the sensational Scaramouche."
00:13:37 Did anybody see an unpleasant man
00:13:42 A letter inviting Scaramouche to Paris?
00:13:47 l need hardly say...
00:13:50 that Scaramouche stays here in Lacrosse.
00:13:55 "Scaramouche stays here in Lacrosse!"
00:13:58 How l hate you.
00:14:00 - How l love you.
00:14:04 - No! We stay here in Lacrosse.
00:14:07 - Because l like it.
00:14:10 - Yes, that's possible.
00:14:12 - No.
00:14:15 Not entirely.
00:14:16 The woman you slip away to
00:14:20 Every day before sunrise
00:14:23 l know it's a woman.
00:14:26 There is only one woman...
00:14:29 and she's here in this room...
00:14:33 at this moment.
00:14:35 You're such a liar.
00:14:39 At times.
00:14:41 A liar...
00:14:43 a cheat, and a fraud.
00:14:47 Also, an impostor.
00:14:51 l ought to be burned at the stake
00:15:02 Burned to a cinder.
00:15:13 Scaramouche...
00:15:17 take me to Paris.
00:15:20 No.
00:15:31 Once more. One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:15:35 Now, this time faster. Ready?
00:15:39 Faster.
00:15:42 Very good.
00:15:47 You remember what l said
00:15:51 Hold it too tightly, you choke it.
00:15:56 Once again.
00:16:28 Doutreval, how long have you been
00:16:34 He never heard of Andre Moreau.
00:16:36 The fool imagines he's been instructing
00:16:41 an artillery artisan.
00:16:43 Take your money, idiot.
00:16:47 Actually, you've done me a great service.
00:16:51 Hand him his sword, Doutreval.
00:17:05 Get out.
00:17:11 And now, Moreau...
00:17:14 for your final lesson.
00:17:44 My compliments. You've learned
00:17:58 You'd at least be a match for our friend,
00:18:05 You might even defeat him.
00:18:07 But Noel de Maynes
00:18:48 lt takes time to make a swordsman.
00:19:01 One can't acquire overnight
00:19:04 by years of endeavor.
00:19:10 The feint doublée.
00:19:13 The feint of disengagement coupée.
00:19:17 And...
00:19:23 Andre!
00:19:25 Aline.
00:19:29 Take him.
00:19:52 Enough. Get out.
00:19:59 - You know this Andre Moreau?
00:20:04 - He's a friend.
00:20:08 l like him.
00:20:11 l met him only casually, but l like him.
00:20:16 - You like him.
00:20:21 He gave me hope and courage once,
00:20:26 l have never forgotten it.
00:20:29 And l never intend to.
00:20:32 You speak of him with a warmth
00:20:35 since you left your father's house.
00:20:39 l'm glad it's so evident.
00:20:41 Believe me, it does less than justice
00:20:44 Your feelings for...
00:20:49 May l remind you of a young girl
00:20:53 by her father's death
00:20:55 l was only 5 miles away.
00:20:57 Andre was there, and what's more,
00:21:00 Did l not send for you at once,
00:21:04 Of your own free will?
00:21:08 - My dear child...
00:21:10 Nor am l a chattel.
00:21:11 l'm a woman who wants to be loved
00:21:15 Whatever you do for me, Noel,
00:21:20 My dear, all you say was true
00:21:23 l did interest myself in you
00:21:27 How could l know that Her Majesty
00:21:32 for a man to respect and admire?
00:21:35 Believe me, Aline...
00:21:37 Her Majesty may have commanded
00:21:40 but now, after, how long is it?
00:21:43 Only six short weeks.
00:21:46 Even she could not command me
00:22:02 You know your way from here.
00:22:06 Doutreval, l owe you my warmest thanks.
00:22:09 l owe much more to Montgomery
00:22:13 Yeah. l'm still only a beginner
00:22:16 No, not a beginner, just not a champion...
00:22:20 - yet.
00:22:22 now that l can no longer be taught
00:22:26 lf you forget your passion while you're
00:22:29 My old instructor,
00:22:32 "The head. Fight with the head.
00:22:35 Your old instructor didn't realize...
00:22:42 Your old instructor, is he still alive?
00:22:45 Of course he's still alive.
00:22:49 l can no longer be taught
00:22:52 So, what is more fitting in a mad world...
00:22:55 than to be taught by the man who taught
00:23:00 Where does he live? What is his name
00:23:05 Perigore of Paris.
00:23:23 Come on out.
00:23:25 Come out before l drag you out
00:23:29 So it was a woman!
00:23:34 Don't lie your way out of it! Put me down!
00:23:41 l'm glad you followed me.
00:23:44 You're in love with that girl.
00:23:45 l couldn't love Aline
00:23:48 What were you up to,
00:23:50 Not exactly. l was having a fencing lesson.
00:23:52 - Liar!
00:23:54 For once, you've no cause to be jealous.
00:23:56 - Prove it.
00:23:57 - Your dearest wish. What is it?
00:24:01 We leave for Paris today.
00:24:04 No. Too sudden a switch.
00:24:07 - No woman. A man.
00:24:12 - As a fiend incarnate.
00:24:15 They call him Perigore of Paris.
00:24:20 Paris.
00:24:40 Where shall we dine tonight?
00:24:42 The Café Jomier
00:24:49 And afterwards?
00:24:53 What do you think?
00:25:42 - Paul, would you throw me my petticoat?
00:25:46 Thank you.
00:25:49 l said throw it.
00:25:51 My dear, after coming here
00:25:54 am l not like your uncle?
00:25:56 - Do you feel like my uncle?
00:26:00 - Lenore is dining with me tonight.
00:26:03 Since this is my first visit,
00:26:06 - Columbine, did you hear that?
00:26:09 - l, for a month...
00:26:12 Charming.
00:26:13 Thank you. l'm so sorry,
00:26:19 Five minutes, my pet.
00:26:21 - Scaramouche.
00:26:23 - So you're the lucky man.
00:26:26 - You remember me?
00:26:30 What's the secret of your success
00:26:33 His mask. They don't know how hideous
00:26:37 Lenore, could you...
00:26:41 Pardon me.
00:26:46 - Your admirers are very fickle.
00:26:49 lndeed. You've come all the way
00:26:53 l'd gladly go farther than that,
00:26:58 No? Then what was it? l'm jealous.
00:27:00 A wedding.
00:27:04 The Marquis de Maynes
00:27:07 Charming girl. His ward.
00:27:13 So, de Maynes is in Paris.
00:27:15 Yes, the happy couple arrived
00:27:19 Au revoir, Columbine.
00:27:21 Some other evening perhaps.
00:27:24 l shall send all Paris to see you.
00:27:31 On second thought...
00:27:33 l'm not in the mood for frog legs.
00:27:35 We'll go to Emile's and have oysters.
00:27:44 l'll get Binet to take you home.
00:27:47 - You know l can't dine with you now.
00:27:51 That's why you hate him, because of her!
00:27:54 No, not because of her.
00:28:25 Enough. You seem to have forgotten
00:28:29 This is no lesson.
00:28:32 He could have run you through
00:28:34 - What time is it?
00:28:36 We still got 30 minutes. Come on.
00:28:39 The head. Fight with the head.
00:28:56 That's enough for today. Go home.
00:29:01 Thank you.
00:29:03 You have a demon in you, this fine day.
00:29:05 Lose it or you'll not live to see another.
00:29:10 Yes, you're right.
00:29:12 Thank you, Perigore.
00:29:16 Pay me tomorrow.
00:29:32 Well?
00:29:36 He may be our man.
00:29:41 - What are you doing here?
00:29:43 l won't shout, and l won't throw things.
00:29:47 but you've just given me
00:29:49 - l thought you were dead.
00:29:52 Don't joke about it.
00:29:55 l'm sorry. Don't joke about it, please.
00:29:58 lt's no joke to me.
00:30:02 l went to de Maynes. The lord was in bed
00:30:06 - Come home now.
00:30:09 Please, Andre.
00:30:19 You never really knew
00:30:23 did you, Lenore?
00:30:26 He was like my younger brother.
00:30:28 l watched him grow up,
00:30:33 Murdered.
00:30:35 lf you'd seen that...
00:30:38 you'd understand why for the last months
00:30:42 De Maynes' death.
00:30:44 An hour from now,
00:30:47 God willing, that desire
00:30:52 l don't like you this way, Andre.
00:30:56 l don't like myself.
00:31:08 l'd like you to wish me luck.
00:31:10 You fool! You'll go to your death.
00:31:14 Then pray for me.
00:31:41 Quiet.
00:31:44 Who are you? What do you mean by
00:31:47 Why should l be interested in Andre?
00:31:49 You must be
00:31:53 l know a dozen Andres: Andre Lebourge,
00:31:57 Andre Moreau.
00:32:00 Andre Moreau? Who is Andre Moreau?
00:32:05 lf you don't know,
00:32:08 Dead? No!
00:32:12 - That's better.
00:32:15 No. He's alive now,
00:32:19 He's waiting in the bois to fight
00:32:25 - Why do you come to me?
00:32:29 You love him.
00:32:32 You do, don't you?
00:32:39 Yes.
00:32:41 Yes, l love him.
00:32:44 He's no use to either of us dead.
00:32:47 Quickly. This way.
00:33:28 Andre, whenever we meet,
00:33:33 l was expecting de Maynes. Where is he?
00:33:36 Not here. l assure you there's no one here
00:33:41 - They told me he rides here at 7:00.
00:33:45 - Shall we ride on a little together?
00:33:49 - You don't care to accompany me?
00:33:54 He won't come.
00:33:56 The Marquis de Maynes is not riding
00:33:59 lf he weren't riding this morning,
00:34:03 Do you love him very much?
00:34:06 You know l've never loved anyone but you
00:34:10 just as you have never loved anyone
00:34:13 - l do not love you, Aline.
00:34:18 Tell me you love someone else,
00:34:21 - l love no one. l have no time for loving.
00:34:24 - l do not.
00:34:26 You told me in the coach. Remember?
00:34:28 - l've said as much to a dozen women.
00:34:31 l fall in love constantly, indiscriminately.
00:34:33 The effect is the same
00:34:36 l don't know what you said to the others.
00:34:41 you loved me.
00:34:46 Aline, listen to me.
00:34:49 l make friends easily.
00:34:51 There is not, and there never could be,
00:34:55 Do you understand?
00:34:57 Ride away and forget
00:35:00 He's already forgotten
00:35:05 Why do you lie to me, Andre?
00:35:08 Why don't you tell me what you feel?
00:35:14 Never mind.
00:35:16 You feel it, and that's all that matters.
00:35:22 l love you.
00:35:26 No matter what you may say or do,
00:35:32 l shall go on loving you always.
00:35:35 Will you remember that?
00:35:38 Always.
00:36:33 - Are you hurt?
00:36:37 l came to ride with you.
00:36:39 And then suddenly... Come. Let's ride.
00:36:42 What, no fear after such a narrow escape?
00:36:45 l like that. But enough for today.
00:36:48 Come, my dear. l'll take you home.
00:37:07 He didn't come.
00:37:11 You've had no breakfast or lunch.
00:37:15 Not for me. l'm not hungry.
00:37:29 Andre Moreau, colleague
00:37:32 wanted for treason
00:37:34 - Who let you in?
00:37:38 l am unarmed.
00:37:39 - Go on your business, or...
00:37:43 l don't doubt it.
00:37:46 - Come on, your name, your business.
00:37:50 By force of circumstance, a deputy
00:37:53 Come to the point.
00:37:54 The newly elected
00:37:57 are being methodically reduced
00:38:00 Only yesterday, Deputy Chambris,
00:38:04 was murdered in a duel, so called.
00:38:07 These things happen.
00:38:08 We want to appoint a new delegate
00:38:11 We need a young man.
00:38:15 Well?
00:38:20 l have no interest in politics, whatsoever.
00:38:24 Yet you were a friend of Marcus Brutus.
00:38:28 ln spite of his fancies,
00:38:30 You believe in liberty.
00:38:33 l also believe in laughter,
00:38:37 Good day, sir.
00:38:39 So, the de Crévy
00:38:44 - A pity.
00:38:47 What was what?
00:38:50 Those names that you said.
00:38:53 de Maynes?
00:38:55 - Noel de Maynes?
00:38:58 You mean that he sits in the assembly?
00:39:00 Naturally. He's a peer of the realm.
00:39:03 - You said you weren't hungry...
00:39:05 l've never been hungrier in my life!
00:39:09 my good friend Dubuque...
00:39:10 by profession a doctor,
00:39:14 On second thought, l realize that l am
00:39:18 and l would be proud to serve
00:39:23 Deputy Designate Moreau
00:39:27 Deputy Dubuque,
00:39:43 The assembly will come to order!
00:39:54 Deputy du Rouge,
00:40:00 Present.
00:40:01 Deputy Chambris, from the Saint-Denis
00:40:06 Mr. President. The deputy
00:40:10 will be absent from this assembly.
00:40:12 Permanently.
00:40:18 Mr. President. May l introduce
00:40:23 Why, yes.
00:40:45 This man is a traitor! Andre Moreau!
00:40:48 - Arrest him! l demand his arrest!
00:40:54 Excuse me, but has not every member
00:40:57 been granted the privilege
00:41:01 Yes. That is true.
00:41:04 Quite in order.
00:41:07 You may take your seat.
00:41:11 You may take your seat, Deputy Moreau.
00:41:14 With the President's permission, l now
00:41:18 to a notorious swordsman
00:41:21 One who in his arrogance and pride...
00:41:24 did not scruple to murder
00:41:27 whose only crime
00:41:31 De Maynes, where are you?
00:41:37 The Marquis de Maynes
00:41:40 having been ordered by Her Majesty
00:41:44 for young ladies of noble birth
00:41:50 Deputy Moreau, you'll take your seat.
00:41:52 The assembly will continue the roll call.
00:42:02 You, Moreau. My name is du Rouge.
00:42:06 How do you do?
00:42:09 Do you hear me?
00:42:10 l dislike your face.
00:42:12 - l not only hear you, l agree with you.
00:42:18 Your cheeks are pale.
00:42:23 That's better.
00:42:25 Moreau, your honor demands satisfaction.
00:42:29 - lt does?
00:42:31 Behind the cathedral. At 6:00?
00:42:44 Deputy Cavalier,
00:42:48 Present.
00:42:48 Deputy Vignon from the Louvre district
00:42:53 Deputy du Rouge,
00:43:13 Moreau!
00:43:27 Mr. President, the deputy from Soissons...
00:43:30 will be absent
00:43:40 And now, perhaps,
00:43:43 from that high-and-mighty lord...
00:43:46 who makes his blade a tool for butchery!
00:43:49 De Maynes! Stand up!
00:43:52 The Marquis de Maynes is absent
00:43:54 having been ordered
00:43:57 to report upon the waterworks
00:44:03 Waterworks.
00:44:11 My name is De Crillons
00:44:13 Your face revolts me.
00:44:15 - Your eyes are pig's eyes, and your ears...
00:44:19 Behind the cathedral at 6:00.
00:44:26 Deputy de Nicolay,
00:44:29 Present.
00:44:30 Deputy De Crillons,
00:44:35 Mr. President,
00:44:38 will be absent from the assembly
00:44:47 Now may l ask,
00:44:50 robs us of the presence
00:44:53 He is absent from the assembly having
00:44:57 to survey
00:45:00 Partridge preserves.
00:45:10 My friend Chabrillaine. l know, my face.
00:45:14 lt reminds you of a bos taurus horrendus.
00:45:18 - What's that?
00:45:20 Behind the cathedral at 6:00.
00:45:40 Moreau?
00:45:43 This morning. l'm lucky to be alive.
00:45:46 - Where can l find him?
00:45:50 but l know where he lives.
00:45:53 l thought you'd be interested. Tomorrow?
00:45:57 Tonight. l shall sleep
00:46:02 Noel?
00:46:05 Well?
00:46:09 - You don't like it.
00:46:11 No, you don't.
00:46:17 - Tonight?
00:46:19 l thought perhaps Souchet's,
00:46:21 - My dear, l'm afraid tonight is impossible.
00:46:25 "The first night l return, we go out,"
00:46:29 Not altogether. l'm sorry,
00:46:32 No. First an orphanage,
00:46:35 then some ridiculous peacocks...
00:46:37 - Partridges.
00:46:39 - l don't believe it.
00:46:42 There's a woman behind it,
00:46:44 - Maybe two women.
00:46:47 Just when we were going to be married.
00:47:02 Aline. Please?
00:47:07 lf l promised, l promised.
00:47:11 What are they playing
00:47:15 - Orpheus and Eurydice.
00:47:20 Very depressing.
00:47:22 there's only one answer,
00:47:25 The Ambigüe?
00:48:42 Wait till you see Scaramouche.
00:48:45 Hideous, but hilarious.
00:49:38 You should see him without the mask.
00:49:40 The most magnificently ugly fellow
00:50:32 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:50:37 We have with us
00:50:41 Noel, Marquis de Maynes.
00:50:53 Noel, l feel faint.
00:50:57 Would you take me home, please?
00:51:02 Going so soon, my lord?
00:51:06 l assure you, the best is yet to come.
00:51:21 You may turn your back
00:51:24 but surely you will not run away from...
00:51:28 Andre Moreau.
00:51:33 Scaramouche, you have given
00:56:00 Why don't you come and take it?
00:58:34 lt's only l, Andre.
00:58:44 Are all things clear to souls in paradise?
00:58:50 lf so...
00:58:52 God grant the boy understands
00:58:57 and forgives it.
00:58:59 - l cannot.
00:59:02 Never!
00:59:04 He stood there waiting...
00:59:07 neither asking or expecting mercy.
00:59:12 l could not do it.
00:59:14 l looked into his eyes...
00:59:19 Why?
00:59:26 Before all the saints in heaven, why?
00:59:32 When you were a boy at home...
00:59:35 how many, many times did you ask us:
00:59:39 "Who am l? And how did l come to live...
00:59:42 "in the house of the de Valmorins?
00:59:45 "And if you are not my father...
00:59:49 "tell me, who is?"
00:59:53 l learned the answer months ago.
00:59:56 My father was Armand de Gavrillac.
00:59:59 No. Armand de Gavrillac
01:00:04 Actually, he was covering an indiscretion
01:00:09 who was your real father.
01:00:14 Then who was my father?
01:00:20 You are the natural son
01:00:25 De Maynes, the father of Noel de Maynes...
01:00:29 the man whose life you could not take.
01:00:32 You couldn't kill your own brother.
01:00:48 My brother, Noel!
01:00:52 My tender, loving...
01:00:58 Then she is not...
01:01:01 Not your sister.
01:01:04 - Aline is not...
01:01:09 So now you can feel about her
01:01:16 Yes, l know she loves you.
01:01:18 Not the way l did,
01:01:23 She doesn't listen
01:01:28 And she's the marrying kind...
01:01:31 which somehow l don't seem to be.
01:01:34 l like the Gavrillac girl. She's a lady.
01:01:39 But never mind. l like her.
01:01:48 Be nice to her, Scaramouche.
01:02:14 l said be nice to her, you clod, not to me.
01:02:18 Go on, get out of here.
01:03:17 Beautiful.
