In the film's penultimate scene we have a passionate encounter between the Don and the Queen (Viveca Lindfors). Even though the dialogue implies otherwise the steamy embraces and soaring music strongly suggest that Don Juan and the Queen consummated their passion off-screen. Did anyone else have the same impression?
shareYes, exactly the same impression. Of course, due to Hays Code guidelines at the time the producers couldn't venture into any "immoral" territory, so a variety of subtleties were used to get the message across to the attentive viewer. (It's noticeable in several other 1940's and 1950's movies too.) Here, the musical crescendo and Flynn's not-so-subtle "I shall be the only one who knew, for just a little while, that there was no Queen" assists the imagination. Clearly, this detail didn't escape your attention!
