Scaramouche (1952)

Doutreval of Dijon: Think of this. A sword is like a bird. If you clutch it too tightly, you choke it - too lightly and it flies away.

Lenore: But who is Scaramouche? And why does he hide his face behind a mask?

Lenore: Ah, diamonds.
Michael Vanneau: I thought of your eyes and I went right out and bought them.
Lenore: Just my eyes? How sweet - I must see that you start thinking about all of me.
