Tim Curry's Cardinal Richlieu is more card than cardinal.
Gossip sez he auditioned for the role with two versions, one scary
and one funny, funny won. With the other people in the cast playing
for comedy, a scary Cardinal wouldn't fit in, but I'd pay serious money
to see him play it scary. Oh well, it's a good watch. The Cardinal gets
all the best lines, either to say: "It can BE ARRANGED" in his fabulous
bellow, or said to him: "I can change your religion" (while she holds a
knife to his crotch). Of course any time he wears a cape is worth seeing.
