Scaramouche

Let danger befall him. Let the winds of fate blow where they may. Andre Moreau will strike a blow for vengeance and the French Revolution. First, he must hone his skill with the blade. By day, Andre secretly perfects his parries and lunges... and hides his true identity at night behind the mask of stage clown Scaramouche. A climactic duel that's one of the greatest sequences ever to lay steel to foe caps this bravura adaptation of the Rafael Sabatini (Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk) novel. George Sidney (1948's The Three Musketeers) nimbly directs all the swordplay, wordplay and horseplay. And Stewart Granger brings dash and deviltry to his portrayal of a hero "born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad." En garde!
