Marie Antoinette


What is the scene of Marie Antoinette about in the movie? How is her character shown??

reply

I saw this movie over 20 yrs. ago, but I recall she was laughing & said the 'let them eat cake' bit, played by Marie Wilson.....who played ditzy, busty blondes.

reply

Yes. She gets off a couple bon mots, culminating in, "Let them eat cake."
Marie is paired with Franklin Pangborn, who sets up her dialogue.
Their scene in about two minutes.

I think the Devil then says "'Let them eat cake' - she'd soon lose her pretty little head for that witticism."

reply

A line delivered with sinister perfection by good ol Vincent Price.
