I love the amused smile that Percy displays for Chauvelin as they approach the island. He never gives anything away. And the comment that Percy makes after Chauvelin mocks Percy's noblesse oblige. "Primitive? I shall take it any day over your new order." Absolutely brilliant
I haven't seen this movie in 20 years... The violin solo at 2:48, which releases out into the joyous escape theme, makes me cry. I think of the little orphan Louis, who in reality never escaped, he rotted away in prison and died grievously of TB at age 10.
THANK YOU!! For uploading this movie. It's one of my favorites. The directing, costumes, acting, writing is one of the greats. I really like this movie, can't you tell. Lol :) Good job. I subscribed. I hope you keep this up. :)
I absolutely love that "a matter of loyalty", then seconds later about being transported "I assure you. . . . . I shall be properly dressed". I wish the people in my area of California had that attitude. Some people going shopping in pajamas & slippers. Dreadful. 😩
My mother watched this before I did. She told me Percy got shot at the end and they buried him in all his finery. ... That was a few years ago. I still haven't forgiven her.
Like I posed the terrible question already- can one really recover at such young age from such trauma? He could have become a true life Magneto driven by pain, rage and the lust for revenge.
Well, they examined his skull in 1893 and it was unlikely to be his....better to live an exile in England than to be dead in France. ;) Ah, the beauty of fiction.
The twist is good fun and all, but the idea that you would put your wife through that torture so your enemy could enjoy himself is a little too much to believe, isn't it?
