  Jean Lambert Tallien - LoveToKnow 1911
JEAN LAMBERT TALLIEN (1767-1820), French Revolutionist, was the son of the maitre d'hôtel of the marquis de Bercy, and was born in Paris.
Tallien showed himself one of the most vigorous of the proconsuls sent over France to establish the Terror in the provinces; though with but few adherents, he soon awed the great city into quiet.
Suspected of "Moderatism" on account of this incident, especially when he was recalled to Paris, Tallien increased, in appearance, his revolutionary zeal, but Therese abated his revolutionary ardour, and from the lives she saved by her entreaties she received the name of "Our Lady of Thermidor," after the 9th of Thermidor.

In brisk vernacular, Tuten tells of Tallien's intense commitment as a young man to the Revolutionary Commune, his election to the Committee of General Security, and then his fateful encounter with the beautiful Therese de Fontenay, widow of a recently beheaded nobleman.
Therese has not shed her aristocratic ways and urges Tallien to join Napoleon's campaign in Egypt.Years later, divorced, impoverished and forgotten, Tallien dreams of reconciliation, not with the egalitarian ideals of his youth, but with Therese.
Tallien's activities in revolutionary France are juxtaposed with the narrator's father's union activity and its negative effect on the family.

She is an art historian, teaching at a New York City university, who has survived one bout of cancer and its treatment but is permanently afflicted with love for a high-minded drifter called Rex.
Rex, as it happens, is the name Tuten gave his father in "Tallien," and, like that Rex, this one dabbles in social activism, intermittently organizing the world's laborers into unions and strikes.
The newer model Eric is an avid capitalist and far from suicidal, though his patient courtship of Dominique while she moons, year after year, over the mostly absentee Rex does smack of masochism.

Jean Lambert Tallien, greatly daring, stood under the pulpit ; he too was atheist, thief and assassin, who added lechery to his backslidings.
With Tallien was Paul Frangois Nicolas, Comte de Barras, ex-officer of the King’s army, who had helped to defend the remnants of French power in India against England.
Tallien was boldest ; he had a letter from Thérèse in his pocket in which she told him that she was condemned to die on the following morning.

Interestingly, there are two possible contenders for the role of model for the Liberty bust.
The first is Madame Tallien (1773-1835), formerly the noblewoman Comtesse Thérèse de Fontenay, who was saved from the guillotine by the revolutionary Jean-Lambert Tallien (1767-1820) before he married her in 1794.
The second possible model is Madame de Récamier (1777-1849), a French hostess famed for her wit and charm and whose salon attracted most of the era's important political and literary figures (there are two well-known portraits of Mme de Récamier, by Jacques-Louis David and François Gérard).

The movie's protagonist is the fictional "Duval/Charles" (Robert Cummings) a double agent dispatched by the exiled Lafayette to work with friends in France to bring down Robespierre and the "Reign of Terror." "Madeleine" (Arlene Dahl) is Duval's romantic interest and a co-conspirator.
Here as in Orphans of the Storm the demarcation between what is "good" for France and what is "bad" is made obvious to the filmgoer, so that when Robespierre meets the fate—the guillotine—he had designed for the others listed in his "fl book," the happy future of France is assured.
An alternative approach to making sense of the French Revolution would have been to emphasize the transformation of subjects into citizens, the centralizing and unifying power of the Revolution, and its universalist implications, even amidst the terrible strains of domestic division and the threat of foreign war.
