Based on the 1832 play by Alexandre Dumas and Frédéric Gaillardet, about Queen Margaret of Burgundy, who kills her partners after their dalliances have ended in order to leave no trace of her sexual misdeeds.

Partially shot on location in Paris.

11.5 x 9.25 inches. Very Good, with multiple pinholes and accompanying wear at the corners, and light soil on the verso.
