Transcript
00:00The End
00:47Marie Antoinette, little Habsburg princess of Austria, learns of the marriage arranged by her mother to the future King Louis
00:55XVI of France.
00:56Mama! Oh, Mama, think of it! I shall be queen!
01:20With this ring I thee wed, and I plight unto thee my trough.
01:26Leave me alone!
01:27All right, I will. I will.
01:29All he wants is an heir to the throne.
01:32Well, I'll never be an heir because of me.
01:43I said no.
01:44Why not?
01:47Perhaps you haven't enough of your thing.
01:49On the contrary, I have too much.
01:51Yes.
01:52That's why I'm the only man about you to whom you refuse your kisses.
02:05I'm sorry you feel your triumph incomplete, madame.
02:08My husband has better sense than I. He knows where to draw the line.
02:13Will you dance, madame?
02:14So that's it. I'm dead, eh?
02:16Not good enough for your high and mightiness.
02:19But no, madame.
02:21Royalty loves an occasional role in the gutter.
02:24Don't they, grandpapa?
02:26I once thought if I were queen I'd be so happy
02:28to be applauded and adored and obeyed.
02:32I don't want it now.
02:34I just want to be free to be with you.
02:37To love you.
02:39I cannot wear my crown upon my heart.
02:43Oh, my dear.
03:41I cannot wear my crown upon my heart.
