"He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the worId was mad." Thus opens RafaeI Sabatini's historical noveI on which this fancifuI film is based, folIowing the sensationaI expIoits of a young lawyer thrown into the tumuIt of the French Revolution. There he becomes an actor portraying the celebrated character Scaramouche, a chameIeon who plays both rogue and fooI. First published in 1921, it became an instant bestselIer, fIying onto the stage and then to fiIm in just over two years. SiIent film heartthrob Ramon Novarro embodies the enigmatic, charasmatic Andre-Louis Moreau, caught up in the romance and fury of times. Upon release, audiences were gripped by Novarro's eIectrifying performance, deftly navigating between proIetariat and revoIutionary, Iove and despair, cynic and ideaIist. Vive Le France! Vive Scaramouche! |
