A pipe is a fountain of contemplation, the source of pleasure, the companion of the wise; and the man who smokes, thinking like a philosopher and acts like a Samaritan.

- Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

“Never have I laid eyes upon such a wretched creature.” Cersei’s words unraveled from her lips like a spool of golden ribbon, wine-soaked as much of her often was. “Have you felt joy even once since your husband lost his head?” One of her ladies chuckled, while the other nursed a needle puncture on her thumb, smiling at the queen indulgently with a sheen of blood clinging to her teeth. Aravella lifted her eyes from the book in her lap. “Only when your father visits, Your Grace.”

Bulwer’s Pheasant

April 1935. Seeing people refer to Cardinal Richelieu as "the Catholic Darth Vader" (which seems entirely apt) brought to mind this 1935 movie with George Arliss. Largely forgotten today, Arliss was one of the most respected actors of his era, having had a lengthy career on stage and in silents before making his first talkie in 1929. Most of his talkie vehicles feature him as a cagy old Tory reprobate triumphing over his opponents through a combination of guile and charm, usually while also showing his support for #girlbossing by arranging an appropriate match for a young female protege — "appropriate match" in most cases meaning "a stalwart, none-too-bright young man of good prospects who can be made to do whatever she says." This is precisely the formula for CARDINAL RICHELIEU, which is based (loosely) on an old Edward Bulwer-Lytton play: Richelieu protects his protege (Maureen O'Sullivan) from the unwelcome attentions of the king (Edward Arnold), finds her a good (dumb) husband (Cesar Romero in one of his earliest featured roles), and saves France with his cunning stratagems. He's even a cat person, and his cat, Mistigris, features in a lot of the posters and promo images.

Arliss later reprised his role in CARDINAL RICHELIEU on THE LUX RADIO THEATRE in January 1939, reuniting most of the film cast. I think that might actually have been his final public performance; he was in his 70s by then, and his last movie role (in DR. SYN) had been in 1937.

CARDINAL RICHELIEU has nothing directly to do with THE THREE MUSKETEERS, but it should be mandatory viewing for people trying to adapt the latter, who often seem to struggle with the fact that while Richelieu is the central antagonist of the Dumas book, he isn't actually the villain of that story.

He who doth not smoke hath either known no great griefs, or refuseth himself the softest consolation, next to that which comes from heaven.
