5.0 out of 5 stars Angelique at the Movies, 8 Mar 2008
By J. A. Ludlow "Ghostslut" (Middle England - UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Where can one begin a review of this iconic heroine and do her and her creators justice? I seem to have known or been involved with Angélique throughout my adult life - I read the first book when I should have been studying for my A-Levels! My sister introduced me to the books - she felt I should have outgrown my beloved Jean Plaidy and Chalet School books by that age and moved onto something a little more sophisticated - she chose Angélique for me - and what a choice! I have written reviews for these books on Amazons fabulous review facility and according to the statistics they have proved useful to several readers. I hope I may have encouraged others to seek out the now sadly out of print versions, many of which are commanding obscene amounts of money on ebay probably due to being erroneously described as erotic - shame the sellers don't read their books first!
But to the films - I saw the first film - Marquise of the Angels on BBC2 with English sub-titles - I can't remember much of that other than I was so terribly excited that the books had been transferred to film and Michele Mercier did look gorgeous - seemingly Brigitte Bardot and Jane Fonda had turned down the opportunity to become the eponymous heroine. Considering BBs love for animals and political acumen, she might have paid closer attention to Angéliques life which mirrors these two avenues. I digress - a failing of mine. I discovered the second film in Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains of Poland where I was on holiday with a friend of Julie Christie's - yes honestly. We were out for a stroll when we saw the weather front hurtling towards us and dived into the nearest building which happened to be a cinema coincidentally showing the film - it was dubbed into Polish with English subtitles - I loved that film to pieces, especially the visual affect of the Court of Miracles and then the complete contrast as Angélique is presented to the Sun King himself by her cousin Phillipe. As an aside just as I did not discover the existence of three more books in the series until the mid-80s [still unpublished in English despite world-wide interest], so I did not realise that there were 5 Angélique films - those I discovered when I started visiting Paris in the 90s.
It has to be said that the films are visually stunning, the music score beautiful and haunting and the fact that they are now going to be available with English sub-titles is why I am going to buy my third set of DVDs - all the others are PAL SECAM playable over here but with no sub-title facility. I've enjoyed these films because they are entertaining - the characters share the same names as the characters in the books - but the storylines differ to suit the needs of the time - this is no bad thing because thanks to the films the legend lives on and Anne Golon is not forgotten. There is agreement that Desgrez [a real historical character] is portrayed as the most believable and best cast - but we perhaps forget that this is a French invention and will be viewed differently than something like the Onedin Line which is a wholly British invention [with an Angélique-like character in the form of Jessica Benton as James' sister Elizabeth].
There are some superbly innovative ideas in the films and it has a "happy ever after" ending which is a shame because the story does continue in the New World and could have created a whole second tranche of films.
It's fun,it's not serious, it's pretty to look at - see the films, then read the books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Joooooffffreeyyy - cries out Angélique - a charming series from the sixties - a sumptous costume drama, 31 May 2008
By Klaus van Amelrode "kmcva" - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Angélique is series of 15 French historical adventure books by the novelist duo Anne and Serge Golon. They were inspired by the life of Suzanne de Rougé du Plessis-Bellière, known as the Marquise du Plessis-Bellière. She has been one of France's most famous women of her time. She had a court of artists and statesmen around her. She was often in opposition to the King Louis XIV, and inspired with her adventurous life some well known stories or has been called Elise by Dumas, for his Le Vicomte de Bragelonne.

Some of these books were then adapted into 5 popular movies. The movies were joint production of France, Italy and Germany. Director of the movies was Bernard Borderie and the main cast was Michèle Mercier as Angélique Sancé de Monteloup and Robert Hossein as Jeoffrey de Peyrac.

Angélique, marquise des anges (1964) [1]
Merveilleuse Angélique (1965) [2]
Angélique et le roy (1966) [3]
Indomptable Angélique (1967) [4]
Angélique et le sultan (1968) [5]


The Angelique movies catapulted Michelle Mercier to almost instant stardom rivalling Brigitte Bardot in celebrity and popularity. But "the Marquise of the Angels", was both a blessing and a curse as it all other aspects of her career. By the end of the 1960s, the names Angélique and Michèle Mercier were synonymous. It was a bit like the "Sissi-Movies" for Romy Schneider, but she managed to break free and establish herself as an actress who played much better characters than merely Sissi. But Mercier had to admit: "When people talk with me they always refer to Angélique, but I have also played fifty other women. I have tried for a long time to forget about her. But now I see her as a little sister who is always by my side and I have learned to live with her."


The movies are typical sixties and in their innocence and predictibility charming. There stories are very simple but engaging and the movies are beautifully done. It is a pleasure to watch and to relax. And most of all I love when Madeame la Marquise cries out for her husband: Joooofffrreeeeyyy. You will see what I mean. It seems to be her main line.

Just enjoy it!!!
