@reccoskwah : not quickly or easily either ..... tried to shoot himself, but only managed to shatter his jawbone (didn't he know the best way is to fire the gun through the roof of the mouth?) & endured hours of agony before being condemned & guillotined.
@Krzyszczynski He was also guillotined right side up, so he could actually watch the blade descend on him. Primary sources later said they could never forget his screams, so sharply cut off..
@reccoskwah : Right on both counts, though of course it was Richard Basehart who played Robespierre. The movie seems to have gone by various titles in different countries and languages.

In reality Robespierre was squeamish about violence and hated the idea of inhumane torture. Unlike a number of his fellow revolutionaries.

Looks like gorgeous Arlene Dahl as the object of Robespierre's attentions.

@Krzyszczynski Wasn't this movie also entitled "The Black Book?" I think it was on last night on Turner Classic. I believe it starred Bob Cummings.

@Krzyszczynski Dabbs Greer was in it too. He was uncredited but he played the role of a guard at a bridge. I got that from Imdb.com
