A noisy night scene in London features a man whose car breaks down in rain at ten. The landlord scolds then concedes, while the man’s bed grows a polishing pad mistaken for a pillow as he vents at the landlord and questions.
The life of Marie Tussaud born 1760 in Berne and died 1850 in London. During the French Revolution she modeled wax heads executed by the guillotine and was briefly imprisoned as a suspect. Daughter of an aide to General Wurmser she later attracted Parisian patrons to create famed wax works.
Marie becomes the sculptor Dr Curtins protege in an era of upheaval. The wax figures, including Necker and Orteana busts, move through the revolution as Marie learns modeling, endures prison, and witnesses Robespierre Danton and Desinculins fall. The story follows her family’s travels to England and a later London exhibition.
