Claude Serre as L'écuyer du duc d'Albe (uncredited) |
| Synopsis:
Directed by Pierre Billon,but actually Cocteau's touch can be
felt here there and everywhere.Cocteau has always loved to adapt
great lit classics:"l'éternel retour" was a modern transcription of
"Tristan and Iseut";"Beauty and the Beast" ,his masterpiece,tackled
Madame Leprince de Beaumont's fairy-tale;Later Madame de la
Fayette's "la princesse de Clèves" was brought to the screen .Here
Victor Hugo's "Ruy Blas".Jean Marais is ideal as the romantic
hero,and he forms with Danielle Darrieux a couple the crowds could
easily dream of.That kind of couple queen-and-jack,we will find it
again in "l'aigle à deux têtes",except that the jack has been
replaced by an anarchist,but that does not make a big difference
when you're depicting romantic passion.The setting in the palace are
as extravagant as in any of other Cocteau creations.Billon ,avoiding
filmed theater,gets his camera out of it and achieves good location
shots in the torrent.Jean Marais plays two roles like in "Beauty and
the beast",but his part of a brigand who resembles the student/jack
like a brother is not as convincing. |
