Angelique (1964)
In 17th-century France, beautiful country maiden Angélique marries wealthy neighbor Jeoffray de Peyrac out of convenience, but eventually, she falls in love with him. So when Jeoffray is arrested and then vanishes, she bravely sets out to find him. This is the first of many dramas based on Anne and Serge Golon's novels about strong-willed Angélique and her adventures during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Thanks for the memories!
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Wonderful movie . A very romantic love story , full of mystery , Passion , intrigue. The actress is very beautiful and her husband is very charming . You will be surprised from the first minute until the end of the movie . it' an old movie but it seems like it was made in these days. It's set in the courts of France of the 17 th century but it will take you to a numerous adventures also outside France , from king , to sultans, to Pirates and Indians. Never a boring moment in this movie full of adventures , love and charm. This the first of the series : when you start it , you would like to see also the others ! Don't miss it !!
Whole series of the movies about beautiful ANGELIQUE is a big lost for Americans. Gorgeous movie with great actors, costumes, interesting plots on the Freanch historical backdrop. By the way I'm Russian and don't speak Freanch at all, but I've seen all five movies back in Russia and since moved to US trying to find it with English subtitles or doubled in English. My husband is American and he doesn't speak Russian or Freanch. So, if anybody knows where to find one I would greatly appreciate it. That I would be able to start American introduction to the world of 17th century France from my own family. All and on it would be totally great if American people would know little bit more then Bratt Pitt and Angelina Jolie. There is a whole wide world over there. So, welcome.
First time i saw this movie about 10 years ago. I just couldn't take my eyes of the screen. And after first time i was terrorizing my neighbor to give me that VCR again. I was child and i thought that movie was amazing. Well i still think same. Yesterday (really) i finished reading first book "Angelique" and today i almost finished second book. I love the details in book and movie both. Of course now when i first saw the movie Angelique for me is only Michelle Mercie. For me as for person who loved this drama story is hard to say much about movie and book cause i can say just "its wonderful". One of most important thing is that its not only a love story. Its like a lifestyle encyclopedia. Anne Golon described all details so great that you can imagine all clothes, buildings, people, meals and everything. Once more - its wonderful story.
I have not seen this movie for many years but I remember it fondly. I used to be a huge fan in my early teenage years. Along with my friends, we had seen "Angélique, marquise des anges" no less than ten times at the cinema, and we all fell in love with green-eyed, sensual Angelique, her mysterious and brilliant husband, the Count Jeoffrey de Peyrac (Robert Hossein), her sharp and clever friend, Desgrez (Jean Rochefort), with the atmosphere of 17th century's France, its picturesque country sides, splendor of Paris and Versailles and dark secrets of the Lous XIV court. Very French movie at its best. I also would like to mention that the movie is based on the first book in the series by Anne and Serge Golon, and all books are absolutely marvelous.
