Film Synopsis

France, immediately after the French Revolution.  To win the respect of others, an Italian nobleman, Marmant, adopts an English hermit, Horace Walop, to the delight of his wife Tolérance.  As Horace acquires a taste for high living and good food in Marmant's luxurious château, his benefactress is easily seduced by the spiritual sustenance that he offers her.  Never one to do things by halves, Marmant sets about transforming his protégé into a full-blown dandy.
