Lenore:
But who is Scaramouche?
And why does he hide his face behind a mask?
Scaramouche:
We're all out of our minds, haven't you observed it?
A dagger in the form of a prelude ....
or, vice versa
I
have written before that Rafael Sabatini's 1921 book, "Scaramouche," is among
my favorite novels and that the film version from 1952 is among my favorite
motion pictures from that era. I have been listening to the soundtrack from that film
off and on for the past few days, and decided I wanted to post it.
So, here is Victor Young's most enchanting musical suite for and from the
film, "Scaramouche." Listen, at least, if you do not have the patience to hear it all in its entirety,
to the brief few seconds between 15:00 and 16:30, most particularly from 15:50
to 16:30. If that forty-second refrain does not melt your heart, I do not think
you have one. It strikes me like a dagger .... and, I know of what I speak ....
