She takes to running about town with the sinister Duc d'Orleans (Joseph Schildkraut), a procedure which leads to a chance meeting with a young Swedish nobleman. Count Axel Fersen (Tyrone Power). Axel and Marie do not hit it off very well at first but a year or two later -just after Marie has made the King angry by calling Madame...

Though imperceptible except at speeds approaching light's velocity (186,000 mi. per sec.), these changes would affect a Michelson-Morley apparatus just enough to cancel any possible observation of the ether-drift-by altering...
