French literary master Anatole France breathes new life into the age-old French folktale about a murderous aristocrat with a propensity for ending his many marriages in a not-so-legal manner. In France's version of the story, some newly uncovered evidence sheds light on Bluebeard's true nature and suggests that the legendary lover has been unfairly saddled with his reputation for rage killings.
