What you see on the second published book covers 1 - 5 of the Dutch books, are photos from the 1968 movie « Catherine, il suffit d'un amour » by  Bernard Broderie (director of Angélique) with Olga Georges-Picot as Catherine, Roger van Hool as Arnaud de Montsalvy and Horst Frank alias Duke Philippe of Burgundy.

If you are a great fan of the Catherine books, I strongly advice you to never watch that film, it made our author Juliette Benzoni
cry like a fountain
as she used to say in all interviews ! The story in the film had absolutely nothing to do anymore with the Catherine we know from the books. I admit that after I watched half an hour, I turned off my television, so angry it made me.

Catherine trotseert het lot - Belle Catherine - Catherine in Dutch

Een stormachtige liefde in woelige dagen
A stormy love in turbulent days


In een ademloze spanning volgen wij Catherine, als zij met haar trouwe zigeunerin Sarah en de stoere Normandier Gauthier door een labyrint van vijanden trekt en aan het slot een ontstellende bekentenis van Arnaud hoort ....







 

How disappointing that the Dutch publishers (I would love to be wrong !) never translated the seventh book - when all started so well in 1963. Please see my translated article from 1963. They had chosen such lovely Book covers for the Catherine books. Just have a look at the very first cover...

 

 


In Heinemann's Ltd. original hardcovers (and many other foreign editions) we see these two beautiful photos of Juliette Benzoni. The one on the left was taken by the acclaimed late writer photographer Jerry Bauer ( 1934 - 2010 ) The photo on the right side by another world famous photographer Sam Lévin. The Lévin photo ,was Juliette official Autograph card. Sometimes we can buy them on Ebay nowadays...
