Marat Sade - film of play starring Patrick McGee and Glenda Jackson. Marquis de Sade directs inmates at an insane asylum in a play about the murder of PAUL Marat.
Start the Revolution Without Me - Gene Wilder and Donald SUtherland play mix matched twins.
Scarlet Pimpernel- a lovely performance by Leslie Howard as a master of disguise trying to save aristocrats doomed to the Guillotine. He demonstrates great comic ability and athleticism. With Merle Oberon and Raymond Massey.
Marie Antoinette Norma Shearer as the little Austrian, and a perfectly cast Robert MORELY as her inept husband . John Barrymore in almost a cameo as Louis XV, and Tyrone Power as Count Axel Ferson
. Not especially accurate but full of beautiful tableaux , and very well played.
A pretty revolution hit - Valmont , the lovely Milos Forman version of the Laclos play. With Meg TILLY , Annette Benning and Fairuza Balk as the ladies and Colin Farrel, Jeffrey Jones and Henry Thomas , in his first adult role, and a perfect Fabua Drake as the old countess who hosts them all to a house party before the wedding of Marie Antoinette. It is a perfect Watteau painting , full of the elegant beauty and corruption that brought on the revolution.
