Synopsis
Untamable Angelique (Indomptable Angélique, 1967) is a costume melodrama with an adventure streak you can watch online on iFILM. This is the fourth chapter of Bernard Borderie's famous saga: Angelique is still hunting for her husband, and the rumors point her toward the Mediterranean coast.
Joffrey de Peyrac did not burn at the stake, and that thin hope drives the heroine far from Versailles toward the ports, pirates and slave traders of the Barbary coast. Michèle Mercier returns in the lead, with Robert Hossein as the man the whole chase revolves around. A royal galley captain, struck by Angelique's beauty, forces her aboard his ship. From there come escapes, a shipwreck, eastern markets and a constant tightrope between love and captivity. Borderie stages a bright adventure spectacle rather than a drawing-room drama, where lavish gowns sit next to sea skirmishes.
The cycle was adapted from the bestsellers by Anne and Serge Golon and was a sixties sensation across Europe. This installment trades depth for scope and southern color — exactly what fans love about vintage French costume cinema. Stream Untamable Angelique (1967) online on iFILM.
