	Scaramouche (1952)
		Crew or equipment visible: During the final sword fight between Scaramouche and the marquis, when Andre falls off the balcony, a safety rope is visible under his cape.
		It is, possibly, the best opening line of any novel written in the 20th Century: "He was born with a sense of humor and a belief that the world was mad!" Yet it is not from Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Orwell, Faulkner, Woolf, Colette, Mann, or any of the "serious" novelists we come across.
		Frequently (on this board) SCARAMOUCHE is compared to Erroll Flynn's movies.

		[Scaramouche] is a romantic adventure and tells the story of a young aristocrat during the French Revolution.
		His successive endeavors as a lawyer, politician, actor, lover, and buffoon lead his enemies to call him "Scaramouche" (also called Scaramuccia, a roguish character in the commedia dell'arte), but he impresses many with his elegant orations and precision swordsmanship.

	Foster on Film - Scaramouche
		Scaramouche is a gasp from a dying genre.
		I've never been satisfied with the ending of Scaramouche, either with the supernatural ability Andre appears to have to recognize his relatives or the very poor Napoleon joke, but these are minor complaints.
		Scaramouche is the best of the fantastically colored Swashbucklers of the 40s and early 50s.

	Scaramouche review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		And while the historical characters of this time have mingled frequently of late with the fictitious characters of the screen, never before have they possessed such physical accuracy.
		"Scaramouche" borders perilously near the spectacle group but, after all, it is of a nobleman who joins the people under the guise of a performer.
		All in all, Rex Ingram, has done well with "Scaramouche." It will probably stand as one of the best pictures of the year.

	Op. 71 Scaramouche
		According to the Berlingske Tidende critic, "The most elevating and dignified part was the music of the performance." The critic of Politiken admired "the stamp of genius", commenting also on the composer's resourcefulness, his devilry and the strange perversity of the music.
		The husband and wife are together again, and the wife dances to the music of her husband, until she is frightened by the sight of blood flowing from behind the curtain.
		Scaramouche's viola melody is heard, literally, from beyond the grave, Blondelaine dies of shock, falling on Scaramouche's body, and Leilon goes mad at the sight.

	Scaramouche - Chapter V
		Scaramouche, a little exalted at the moment by his success, however trivial he might consider it to-morrow, took then a full revenge upon Climene for the malicious satisfaction with which she had regarded his momentary blank terror.
		When at last the curtain fell for the last time, it was Scaramouche who shared with Climene the honours of the evening, his name that was coupled with hers in the calls that summoned them before the curtains.
		Scaramouche laughed at him, and his laugh was not altogether pleasant.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- SCARAMOUCHE
		SCARAMOUCHE ($20) is a great swashbuckling movie that offers, what is undoubtedly, the finest (and longest) single sword fighting sequence ever committed to celluloid.
		Adapted from the novel by Rafael Sabatini, SCARAMOUCHE tells the story of Andre Moreau (Granger), the bastard son to a French nobleman, who lives a comfortable life in pursuit of idle pleasures, in the years leading up to the French Revolution.
		SCARAMOUCHE is a personal favorite, in addition to being a classic swashbuckler that features the cinema’s finest single swordfight.

		Scaramouche was yet another successful Hollywood adaptation of a Rafael Sabatini novel, following The Sea Hawk, Captain Blood, and The Black Swan.
		Scaramouche trivializes the French Revolution, making it seem like a gentlemen's disagreement between aristocrats of greater and lesser wealth.

	Scaramouche Jones - smh.com.au
		Scaramouche Jones was born on a fishmonger's slab in Port of Spain, Trinidad, the son of a swarthy gypsy whore and, well, his father could have been any one of the men who would line up nightly for his mother's services.
		Scaramouche was born at midnight on New Year's Eve, 1899, to the sound of gunfire, the celebratory salute from the cannon of the ships in the harbour heralding the beginning of a new century.
		Scaramouche Jones, British playwright Justin Butcher's much more modest and compact one-man drama, was first performed, on the other side of the millennium, in 2001 at the Dublin Theatre Festival.

	Scaramouche
		After the triumph of the movie Scaramouche, earlier novels were reprinted, including The Sea Hawk (1915) filmed in 1924 with Milton Sills and Bardelys the Magnificent (1906) starring John Gilbert and Eleanor Boardman, directed by King Vidor in 1926.
		Scaramouche was a big production, budgeted at over a million dollars, with 30 principals, and 10,000 extras.
		A couple of years ago, I gave a number of copies of Scaramouche as presents (to teenaged girls) including a couple of "Photoplay Editions" one of which had a different set of photos than this one.

		As first lines go, Scaramouche's is irresistible: "He was born with a gift of laughter, and a sense that the world was mad." This exuberant period adventure is pretty irresistible itself--even more than Captain Blood and The Sea Hawk, likewise derived from Rafael Sabatini novels.
		"Scaramouche" is the somewhat convoluted tale of a womanizing rogue, Andrea Moreau (Stewart Granger) who courts a gypsy player, Lenore (Eleanor Parker) but ultimately falls for the purity and grace of courtesan, Aline de Gavrillac de Bourbon (Janet Leigh).
		Masquerading as Scaramouche, the bit player of a traveling theatrical troupe, Andrea draws himself nearer to Noel's confidence, all the while falling in love with Aline, who is at first erroneously mistaken to be Andrea's sister.

	Scaramouche Summary / Study Guide
		Scaramouche is as much a psychological study as it is an adventure novel.
		Indeed, Scaramouche should be viewed as a psychological journey of self-discovery.
		The distinguishing attribute of a Sabatini hero is "the vision" that "pierces husks and shams to claim the core of reality for its own." Time and again, Sabatini used this as a benchmark of the heroic.

	DVD Savant Review: Scaramouche
		Big glossy Technicolored movie stars breathing heavily and fighting with swords still worked, mainly because the original story (filmed before as a silent) is a good variation on the 'royal rascal' kind of theatrical capers lampooned by Freed's musical unit the year before in Singin' in the Rain.
		Witness to the murder is Phillipe's adopted brother Andre Moreau (Stewart Granger), who drops his playboy habits of chasing the skirts of actress Lenore (Eleanor Parker) and Aline de Gavrillac de Bourbon (Janet Leigh) to devote himself to de Maynes' destruction.
		Scaramouche is a core swashbuckler, that dependable subgenre requiring a dashing carefree hero, several wilting damsels, an exciting historical setting and lots of furious fencing.

		Admirers of 'Scaramouche' tend to exult in its action sequences, especially the 'longest ever' sword sequence; these are terrific, but it should be noted that they are also mocked within the film - e.g.
		Scaramouche is hunted by the French government due to his popularity with the people, and his ability to out fence many of the royal court's aristocratic men.

		Scaramouche is not only Rafael Sabatini's crowning literary achievement, it is one of the most engaging, thought-provoking and exciting historical novels ever written.
		Andre-Louis Moreau, (or Scaramouche, as he later becomes known), is a fascinatingly complex protagonist.
		Scaramouche is set during the years leading up to and including the French Revolution, and follows the exploits of one Andre Louis Moreau, a lawyer, a bastard, and a Frenchman with close connections to the ruling class.

	Scaramouche Jones, a CurtainUp London review
		From the early life with his mother to her untimely murder when he is shipped off to an orphanage, sold by the priest to a slaver trading out of Mombassa, to assistant to Yasu, the snake charmer, Scaramouche's story touches many of the events of the twentieth century.
		He sees the coronation of Haile Selassie I, in Africa, is invited to a masked ball in Venice in honour of Mussolini, joins up with some gypsies and goes to Krakow from where he is captured by Nazis and put to work in a camp.
		Credit for the graphic writing must go to Justin Butcher but it is Pete Postlethwaite who brings the words alive whether it is rolling on the floor imitating his own mother receiving her numerous clients or speaking to us in the many accents of the world of characters or miming a scene.

	Scaramouche - Rafael Sabatini - Penguin Group (USA)
		Once he was André-Louis Moreau, a lawyer raised by nobility, unconcerned with the growing discontent among France’s lower class—until his best friend is mercilessly struck down by a member of the aristocracy.
		Speaking out against the unjust French Government, he takes refuge with a nomadic band of acting improvisers where he assumes the role of Scaramouche The Clown—a comic figure with a very serious message...
		Set during the French Revolution, this novel of swashbuckling romance is also a thought-provoking commentary on class, inequality, and the individual’s role in society—a story that has become Rafael Sabatini’s enduring legacy.
