the title block does not seem to like accents, does it? i should throw a few e s up there.

marquis de sade was in the bastille, also the man in the iron mask?

[i]four forgers arrested under warrants issued by the Grand Châtelet court; James F.X. Whyte, an Irish born "lunatic" suspected of spying and imprisoned at the request of his family; Auguste-Claude Tavernier, who had tried to assassinate Louis XV 30 years before; and one "deviant" aristocrat suspected of murder, the Comte de Solages,[28] imprisoned by his father using a lettre de cachet.

A previous prisoner the Marquis de Sade had been transferred out ten days earlier,

so i have been misinformed. the guy in the mask may have been fictional, but was he louis's twin?

It's hard to imagine when they made this movie in 1942, the moviemakers had no idea who would actually win World War II.
