What It Is: A classic swashbuckling tale of love and revenge.Why I Watched It: Scaramouche reportedly contained an "epic sword duel over 6 minutes long!"
What I Thought: It was surprisingly good. It more than entertained me and my roommate and we don't typically get excited about vintage Hollywood.
The story involves revenge and romance in pre-revolution France. I was reminded of The Count of Monte Cristo, but in all the best ways. The love story is fun in that old-fashioned kind of way, but the fencing in the movie really shines!
Highlights: Decent story, funny scenes involving the comedy troop, and an above par sword duel ranging through 5 different sets!
Who Should See It: Classic movie buffs and swashbuckler fans.
How Soon: Whenever.
