comment
Scaramouche is the 1923 film adaptation of the novel by Rafael Sabatini. Directed by Rex Ingram and starring Ramon Novarro, the film was produced by Metro Pictures shortly before Metro merged into Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.After his best friend is killed by the ruthless Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr, André-Louis Moreau takes up the cause of The French Revolution. Along the way, he romances the beautiful Aline de Kercadiou, and joins a Commedia dell'Arte troupe in which he plays the role of... Scaramouche.It was remade in 1952. The 1923 version is closer to the book.

comment
Roguish Poacher: The film begins with a peasant having been executed for poaching on the Marquis' land. We are meant to sympathize with the slain poacher, who was presumably desperate for food, and to see the Marquis as evil. In fact, this is how the Marquis is first established as the bad guy.

comment
Full-Circle Revolution: Downplayed. The aristocrats are the only villains for most of the movie, but at the end, it's a revolutionary mob that's causing the trouble. However, Andre-Louis is ultimately able to reason with the mob, which he was never able to do with the aristocrats.

Fat Bastard: The King's Lieutenant is overweight, corrupt, and unpleasant in general. Challefau Binet initially seems like he will be Big Fun instead, but he also turns out to be this trope.

Thicker Than Water: Andre-Louis initially plans to save only Aline from the mob, saying that he considers Countess de Plougastel to be a traitor to the Revolution. Only when it's revealed that the countess is his birth mother does he agree to save her as well.

War Was Beginning: The film begins with the text, "The reign of Louis XVI, King of France, marked the passing of the French Monarchy. Bankrupt, abandoned to the rule of an all-powerful Nobility and an indifferent Clergy, the nation faced starvation - or revolt."

Luke, I Am Your Father: The Marquis is Andre-Louis's father. The twist remains surprising because until that moment, Andre's parentage had not been important.

comment
The Revolution Will Not Be Vilified: For the most part, the revolutionaries are the good guys and the aristocrats are the bad guys. It's not played entirely straight, however, what with some sympathetic aristocratic characters and a climax that involves an out-of-control revolutionary mob.
