If swashbuckling romantic adventures are the kind of action films you admire, you'll have a grand time with this one 🤝🏼
"Yes, you're going to die, but not by a bullet. You're going to die as he died, by the sword. You'll be driven back, step by step, until you stand helpless, as he did. And then I, Andre Moreau, will kill you as you killed him..." — Andre Moreau.
Scaramouche is a fine swashbuckling adventure film, rich in color, nice settings and costumes, some spectacular duels, some funny and witty scenes too. The film has its sad moments too, and the plot is a bit complicated although never hard to follow. But its overall tone is comedic, as befits…

Often a DVD cover lies....especially if the cover is claiming that the movie is non-stop laughs. Well the cover of Scaramouche did not lie....it says..."one of the finest sword battles in movie history"- The Motion Picture Guide. The final sword fight between Stewart Granger (the good guy) and Mel Ferrer (the bad guy) is simply awesome. Just that scene alone makes this a movie to watch. The fact that it is filled with great performances (especially a sexy one from Eleanor Parker), impressive stunts and a very entertaining story...only makes this an even more pleasurable movie watching experience. I feel I know about many movies....still trying to figure out how I had never even heard of this movie before. Final thought: Highly recommend this one.

Was that Napoleon randomly rocking up at the end? What an absolutely bonkers film, clearly made in the era of Hollywood thinking they could do absolutely no wrong 😂 But in fairness, this has a pretty epic 10 minute sword fight that still holds up pretty well.

Summer Under The Stars: Nina Foch
Nina Foch plays Marie Antoinette early on in Scaramouche but she then promptly disappears from the film, so she didn't truly register with me. Apparently, she was disappointed by her movie career and derived more enjoyment from her work in the theatre. If her role in this is emblematic of the parts she was typically given, that's probably just as well.
Nevertheless, that didn't impact my enjoyment of this very entertaining MGM swashbuckler starring Stewart Granger, Eleanor Parker, Janet Leigh, and Mel Ferrer. There's plenty of swordplay in Scaramouche and, as far as I'm concerned, it's all the better for it.
Indeed, being a lover of sword fighting and all things that can swash…

Stewart Granger fills every scene with an exaggerated swagger akin to a proto-Bruce Campbell type. He is one part James Bond, one part Robin Hood, and one part Falstaff.
The structure of the story is interesting. The protagonist's plan is simple enough. He must learn the ways of the sword well enough to kill his enemy and avenge the death of his best friend. Unfortunately he is a wanted man, so he must lay low low during the training stage of his plan. Enter the first complexity, Scaramouche. A drunken clown whose identity Moreau adopts and even embraces. The second complexity arrives in the form of the two women who love Moreau, a tawdry, mildly incestuous love triangle that conspires…Translated from en by Google -
The film presents an interesting plot of revenge and romance but it's slow pacing and nearly two hour long run time make it an extreme slog to get through but it does offer some good performances and the costuming is absolutely gorgeous.
There are a few enjoyable moments, typically in relation to when Stewart Granger playing Andre Moreau is acting in the theater performances as Scarmouche as well as the witty back and forth banter and romantic tension between his character and Eleanor Parker's Lenore.
But the majority of its run time is tiring and slow, making it hard to pay attention to anything when my mind is drifting off to the fact that I could be watching something else…

Still and forever pissed off by the ending... But hot DAMN those scenes between Stewart and Eleanor require several moments of recovery.
