Angie


Michèle Mercier [right] is Angélique

Every young boy's wet dream – at least in the 1960's. I have seen some of these Angélique movies. Almost no nudity but loaded with special eroticisms. Even a 12 year old boy could smell that.

So great memories. This looks like the complete set of movies.

Very many thanks to biohazard for uploading these movies. BH obviously did some great research to compare the novels to the films that is very informative.

Description: In this first part of the Angélique cycle, set in Mid-17th century France under the young Sun King Louis XIV, still struggling for his throne, while beggars and brigands roam the country, Angélique de Sancé de Monteloup, fifth child of an impoverished country nobleman in the Poitou marshlands, expected to struggle for a meager subsistence, educated in a nunnery, is betrothed at 17 to Joffrey de Peyrac, the 12 years older rich but cripple Comte de (count of) Peyrac de Morens and seigneur (Lord) of Toulouse, scarred in the face and said to be a sorcerer, in fact practicing oriental mining techniques which make his vast fortune. For the sake of her family, Angélique reluctantly agrees to the match but refuses the advances of her husband, who does not enforce his conjugal rights, wishing only to win her heart. As Angelique gradually discovers virtuous Peyrac's remarkable talents as scientist, musician and philosopher, she falls passionately in love with him. Joffrey's unusual way of life is threatened by the ambitious Archbishop of Toulouse, and soon the jealous young king Louis XIV, Joffrey is arrested for 'sorcery'. Angélique single-handedly faces the royal court, surviving murder and poison attempts on her self in a fruitless effort to save Joffrey from the stake. Intent on revenge and survival on her own, Angélique desperately joins the dark Paris underworld, finding it now ruled by her youth friend, farmer's son Nicolas, whose true love she had forsaken for her arranged marriage.

Description: Angélique et le Roy" is Anne et Serge Golon's peak: their novel successfully recreates the atmosphere of Louis the fourteenth 's court, with its intrigues, and its incredible "Etiquette". Their depictions are vivid and colorful. They have never blended so intimately Angelique's adventures with the historical events and there 's a lot of 'em war in Holland, the sumptuous feasts which celebrated victory, the rise of Madame de Montespan and the fall of Louise de La Vallière as favorites of the Sun King, the poisons affair, Henriette d'Angleterre's death, et al. Of course, there are some mistakes (the book was written in the fifties) Monsieur, frère du roi (king's brother), was never the villain depicted by the Golon, and his wife's (Henriette) poisoning was never proved(and the historians reckon it's unlikely).

What about the movie? It's an almost complete loss. The scenarists took what was the most spectacular-Angélique meets a Persian prince and is almost raped, she attends a black mass and left the rest, all I mention above. "Indomptable Angélique" and "Angélique et le Sultan" the two final episodes of the saga are, if possible, worse.

One should note, however, that only the third part of the novel was transferred to the screen. Philippe, who plays a prominent part in the novel, disappears in the prologue.

Description: This is the 4th film in the Angelique saga. Both this one and the 5th one ("Angélique et le Sultan" ) are actually one long flick divided into two parts. Both are Anne and Serge Golon's "Indomptable Angélique" transferred to the screen. The first films of the series roughly followed the plots of the novels. But from "Angélique et le Roy" onwards, they started to wander from them dramatically. For example "Angelique et le Roy" consisted of the last part of the three which the novel featured and Peyrac did appear in it whereas he is absent from the novel.

In "Indomptable Angelique" Angelique goes in search of her husband Joffrey de Peyrac who did not die on the stake. Golon's novel was oversimplified; numerous characters who appear in it have been ruled out - Desgrez, the king's policeman, Nicolas Calembredaine (galley slave in the novel). The part of the old Savary is more important in the novel. Moreover Peyrac has become a masked pirate "Le Rescator" in the movie. Had Robert Hossein been masked, the audience would have giggled. Unfortunately a lot of Golon's magic is gone.
From the novel the scenarists kept the most "daring" scenes; Angelique handed over to D'Escrainville's men down in the hold, then to ferocious cats, then sold in a slaves market. At the time, the audience was very disappointed, even Angelique's fans, because, not only the movie was very short (barely 80 min.) but it also abruptly ended.

Description: By now, there have been four other Angélique films and the series is simply losing momentum. As far as this film goes, it is the least interesting of the series by far--so it isn't surprising that the films were discontinued after this one.

This film finds Angélique in a North African Muslim kingdom where she is now part of the Sultan's harem. Most of the first 2/3 of this film consists of her angrily refusing to be bedded as well as their trying to literally beat some sense into her. It all seems to go on too long and I was surprised that the Sultan simply didn't have her killed. Late in the film, she finally escaped with the help of two Christian prisoners and in the end she is FINALLY reunited with her husband--but not until there is a nasty twist near the end where her handsome rescuer is needlessly killed. My wife, in particular, hated this ending as the nice blond guy seems to have been killed off for no particular reason and he was a pretty swell guy.
Overall, worth seeing if you've seen the other films but not an especially engaging film and there just isn't a whole lot of plot. As a result, this film simply limps to a conclusion.
