Reviews for Beaumarchais the Scoundrel
Here is a lavish and charming film about a decade in the life of the multi-talented eighteenth century playwright and political activist
Little more than a series of innocuous adventures that just happen to be inhabited by the same character.
A very witty, farcical comedy-drama that plays fast and loose with historical fact.
