ABSTRACT
Originally the script devised by Zarkhi was as follows:
The Revolution takes place but there is no romance parallel with it. In the old schema of the historical romance the personal story is advanced by historical events or (an earlier schema) itself advances them. In this script a different stance was adopted: because of the Revolution and the War the usual banal romance did not come true. The class feeling of the heroes, the power of history over them, rearranged their love relationships and duellists became friends and the unfaithful woman and the lucky rival officer became allies of the deceived husband.
