When I acquired this film, I got it because of the ending I saw in a documentary about European silent cinema. What I saw was that, after she was executed, her head was tossed out into the crowd. Intrigued by that ending, I got my hands on a copy. It didn't show that ending! Well, I gave away the real ending, so I might as well talk about the movie now. It's about a French girl who becomes a mistress to royalty. In the days of the French Revolution, that was not exactly a healthy way to make a living... I do want to say, before I go on, that I don't like looking at dead bodies and if that had been her actual head, I wouldn't have gotten a copy. The acting is splendid all the way around. It is also a well-made film. I wouldn't have a problem recommending it to anyone, even though the ending to my copy wasn't what I was expecting.
