Angelica

Such a pity! It's not possible to buy this movie anymore. I read all Angelique's adventures (there are 14, I guess) on account of this film. I showed the movie to my teenager french niece and she loved it! We can learn a lot about french history,human feelings and have great fun altogether. Find it in your local video store and enjoy romance and adventure...

Ah, I have such fond memories of seeing 'Angelique' (not in 1964!) when I was young. I still enjoy it just as much today.

And who could possibly have portrayed Angelique better than Michelle Mercier? She is sensational! Whilst in love with Nicolas (Giuliano Gemma), free-spirited Angelique is forced to marry a man she's never met - Count Jeoffrey de Peyrac (wonderfully portrayed by Robert Hossein). Described as "horrible" I actually found Jeoffrey rather desirable...

'Angelique' is fast-paced and exciting, and Angelique's wittiness ensures a good dose of humor, too. The film features beautiful locations and stunning costumes. 'Angelique' is an action-packed, epic film with loads of twist and turns, and interesting revelations. Add conspiracy theories, murder, betrayal, deceit, false accusations... I love it!

Although I'm not French but Russian... who actually lives in Australia but wants to travel around the world and go to France one day to improve her French ;-) But I love this movie... even more than I loved the book... It's absolutely brilliant and always inspires me so much. I think through all the years the main character has influenced my own character so much... that my friends sometimes say I act and even look a bit like Angelique.

So I don't really think that the movie isn't well known... It beats all the modern Hollywood soapy dramas. And I absolutely vote for it!

I really do not understand how it is possible that one of the greatest movie series of 1960`s has got such a small amount of comments on this site. This opening movie of the five-part series is in my opinion one of the best. We can see a successful portrayal of rural France of 17th century, the splendour of the golden age of Lous XIV., the debauchery of the court of Versailles etc. Michelle Mercier is simply beautiful, Toja as Louis XIV. is very good as well. The film features some very well-acted scenes. I can recommend it to anyone who loves historical spectacles. This is one of the best ever filmed, I have doubts whether the present film-makers would manage to match it!

Pretty damn good not gonna lie. I like how corrupted France is represented and the fact that she falls in love with him despite the ruined body. For a film of 1965, it is incredible how it makes new films look like a joke especially with the budgets and this is being said by a 22yo person. I would recommend it's a good film even if far from best.
