  1. See P.M's almost indiscernible flick of the eyebrow when he says the word "virtue" … Can watch him over and over …. and over again!

  2. Did I imagine a transitory shadow of doubt or humanity cross Fouquet's face while the poor twin got his mask fitted ??

  3. Orson Welles said that Patrick McGoohan's performance in "Brand" intimidated him. And that P.M. would have been one of the top film actors – right up there with Brando, Burton, and Newman – if television hadn’t grabbed him first… Just sayin' ….

  4. If I had to chose between the skinny frilly pale king/boy and the powerful, intelligent, sexy, scary Fouquet – there's just NO doubt!!

  5. Even in that silly outfit (notice he didn't have to wear pantaloons or even stockings – coz that's not scary!) Patrick Mc. is fabulously sexy and commanding … Just sayin'….

  6. Ian Holm (good actor!) looks silly in that wig … But I guess .. he didn't have much say ….
    Louis Jordan's is even worse … what a pity …

  7. The film is a success in terms of performances, music, production design and costumes. But in terms of plot and characters, the film is by far the worst adaptation of Dumas' novel. They did everything upside down!

  8. Richard Chamberlain played double roles perfectly. I observed his face expression every scene, and I really admired his skillful performance!

  9. A king would never have tipped his hat from the brim. Tipping your hat from the front was considered to be low, and peasant like. He would have taken his hat by the back. If he chose to tip his hat. Although I can’t think of a reason for the king of France to tip his hat to his subjects.. 16:55

  10. LOVE the scene in the end, when “Louis” and the queen are dancing and basically negotiate an agreement between them while talking in hypotheticals. Amazingly done.
