Short description

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.

What's left behind the scenes

This is a film adaptation of the first book in the series of novels about Angélique, written by Anne and Serge Golon.
The film premiered at the Moulin Rouge cabaret. The famous Coco Chanel, invited to the screening, applauded standing.
In real life, Mercier is a brunette. Several dozen blonde wigs were made for the role.
The film ranks 31st in attendance among foreign releases in Soviet cinema distribution.
Filming took place at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome, as well as in castles and estates in France: the Château de Tanlay (Yonne department, Burgundy) served as the setting for the castle of Count Geoffroy de Peyrac; the Château de Marigny-le-Cahouët (Côte-d'Or) – the castle of Baron Sanset de Montelou; the Château d'Esclimont (Yvelines) – the castle of the Marquis de Plessis-Bellière; the Abbaye de Fontenay (Côte-d'Or, Marmagne) – a monastery in Poitou; and Versailles.
Brigitte Bardot could have played Angélique, but she was busy filming another movie at the time. Actresses such as Catherine Deneuve, Jane Fonda, and others auditioned for the role, but were not approved. Marina Vladi won the audition for the lead role, but at the same time, the actress was invited to another film and declined to participate.
