Forget about Rambo,James Bond Van Damme etc. this is a truly fascinating and high action film made before fancy special effects and stunt men.Ricardo does all his own stunt-work including deft sword fighting,fancy fist work and horsemanship skills.He also shows a tender side to the hero not unequalled by Olivier or even Bogart. The final sword-fight scene including the sudden death of the dastardly evil enemy "The Siniscolas Brothers" rivals the brilliant performance of Sir Lancalot's John Cleese.Unfortunately this film did not earn him an academy award and I recommend this film to lovers of fast action and Monty Python films.
