"He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad." Thus opens RafaeI Sabatini's historical novel on which this fancifuI film is based, following the sensational expIoits of a young Iawyer thrown into the tumult of the French Revolution. There he becomes an actor portraying the ceIebrated character Scaramouche, a chameIeon who pIays both rogue and fool. First published in 1921, it became an instant bestselIer, flying onto the stage and then to film in just over two years. Silent fiIm heartthrob Ramon Novarro embodies the enigmatic, charasmatic Andre-Louis Moreau, caught up in the romance and fury of times. Upon reIease, 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! |
