A French film starring Michele Mercier
Robert Hossein , Giuliano Gemma
The adventures of France's ' most tantalising heroine' ran through several best-selling novels before this sumptuous version was made. Considering that she is growing into a hoyden, Angelique's family send her to stay with some more sophisticated cousins. There she overhears a plot to murder King Louis XIV - and immediately finds herself despatched to a convent for five years. When she eventually returns home, Angelique learns that she is to be married immediately to the crippled, but rich, Count Joffrey de Peyrac.
