These are the men who owned everything and everyone, look at them now; where are they now? Daily they offer their heads, to the guillotine, to save them from interminable, boredom
Although I was 17 in 1966 never got to see the original live performance, just remember seeing this film, a few times. However I made a large painting in 1975, of an execution, inspired by this movie.
