Overview

Bluebeard is a 1972 mystery comedy drama film written and directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring Richard Burton, Raquel Welch, Joey Heatherton, and Sybil Danning. The film's plot is very loosely based on the French folktale of a nobleman whose latest wife grows curious when he tells her she may enter any room in his castle but one. Plot In Austria in the 1930s, Baron Kurt von Sepper is a World War I veteran fighter pilot with a reputation as a "ladykiller" and a frightening blue-tinged beard. In public the Baron carefully maintains his image as a war hero, a seemingly devout Catholic and a patriotic member of the Fatherland Front, but the Baron has two dark secrets he is keen to hide. All of his previous wives have died in mysterious circumstances, and he exploited the chaos of the Austrian Civil War to instigate a pogrom against a Jewish community. Cast

Notable quotes

“Be kind. Don't kill for any reason. Don't even kill out of self-defense. Really — I mean that. Don't take any more than you need of anything. Help others.”
— From a speech given on 20 January 1969 at the University of Michigan, about two months before Slaughterhouse Five was published, as reported in "A very new kind of WIR [Writer in Residence]" by Daniel Okrent, feature editor, The Michigan Daily (21 January 1969), pp. 1–2
“You know, in a way I wish I hadn't met you two. It's much more convenient to think of the opposition as a nice homogeneous, dead-wrong mass. Now I've got to muddy my thinking with exceptions.”
— Chapter 9 (p. 91)
“It was a marvelous engine for doing violence to the spirit of thousands of laws without actually running afoul of so much as a city ordinance.”
— Chapter 3 "United Hotcake Preferred" (p. 78)
“I never knew a writer's wife who wasn't beautiful.”
— Preface (p. xi)
“I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, "Please — a little less love, and a little more common decency."”
— Prologue
“In the nightmare of a warring world, it takes peculiar skills to get along.”
— Story: "The commandant's desk" - p.193
