In this sequel to the 1973 swashbuckler, there’s a flashback scene where Milady de Winter (Faye Dunaway) is briefly seen up on a scaffold, tied to a frame. The executioner takes an iron from the flaming coals and brands the mark of a thief onto her shoulder. There’s the sizzle of burning flesh followed by a scream as she collapses in her bonds. It’s a brief sequence, much too short. VIDEO LINK
