Le Capitan (English title: Captain Blood) is a 1960 French swashbuckler film directed by André Hunebelle, starring Jean Marais, Bourvil (the second time in a row with the two of them after Le Bossu), Elsa Martinelli, Arnoldo Foà, Guy Delorme and Christian Fourcade. It is based on the eponymous novel by Michel Zévaco.In the year 1616, 15-year old King of France Louis XIII (Fourcade) is surrounded and kept away from power by his mother Marie de Medici and her protégé, a minister and marshal from Italy, Concino Concini (Foà), who plans to usurp the throne. The chevalier (knight) François de Capestang (Marais) witnesses the murder of his friend, the Marquis de Teynac, by Rinaldo (Delorme), Concini's main henchman, who has been tasked to eliminate all influent nobles who could stand in Concini's way up to the throne. Capestang is saved just in time by Gisèle (Martinelli), the daughter of Duke Charles d'Angoulême, who conspires with many nobles against both Concini and the king.Now working to unmask Concini's sinister conspiracy, Capestang will do his best to protect both the king and Gisèle, who he has fallen in love with, with the help of Cogolin (Bourvil), a jester whose life he saved. | |

| Le Capitan / int_120a6a29 | comment |
Artistic Licence – History: Concino Concini and his wife Leonora Galigai got the Historical Villain Upgrade treatment, trying to outright murder king Louis XIII, which they never did in real life. The real Charles d'Angoulême did conspire against a French king, but he did so against Louis XIII's father, Henri IV, in 1604, and not against Louis XIII himself in 1616. He served the French Crown loyally by this point, after narrowly escaping execution in 1604. Charles d'Angoulême also did have a daughter — two actually, but none of them was named Gisèle. The final duel between Capestang and Rinaldo takes place on the ramparts and roof of the castle of Pierrefonds. Most of the roof and ramparts were "restored" by architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in the "Troubadour style" (some describe it as "Neo-gothic") of the mid-to-late 19th century, which was The Theme Park Version of the "medieval" style. | |

Unholy Matrimony: The one remotely positive thing that can be said about Concini is that he and his equally wicked wife Leonora are a very mutually devoted evil couple. She happily partakes in his evil schemes, and he promises her the position of Queen while doting on her in the scenes they're together. | |

Concini describes him as coming from a "small, but good nobility", to which Capestang agrees, especially about the "good" part, pointing out his family's honor in his refusal to become a Double Agent for Concini. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade: While he allowed the French treasury to be pillaged and used his status as favorite of the young king's mother to become one of the most important persons in the kingdom of France, and attracted a hatred from most of the nobility that would cause his downfall as a result, it is not sure if Concini really planned to usurp the throne in Real Life. Here, he clearly wants to, makes sure young king Louis XIII doesn't get involved in important matters and even outright tries to have him murdered. | |
