Definitely not a masterpiece, this film is a poor man's Angelique and not the best out of the vast output of Christian-Jaque. Still, it is quite enjoyable and fun to watch. Anyway, I would rate it higher than most of costume dramas of contemporary Hollywood.
Visually film is really nice to watch, story evolves in that light 60s manner, though the last , slightly "more serious" part drags a bit. Several nice actors are present, especially worth to mention Michelle Mercier and Nadjia Tiller.
I find Nadjia especially effective in this movie. She was a beautiful and talented actress and was definitely underused by the film industry. Same goes for the main star of the film - It's a pity that fame of Michelle Mercier faded so quickly.
