Good action scenes but quite dull at times too.
Set in 18th century France, the story of a man (played by Stewart Granger) who sets out to avenge the death of his friend at the hands of a master swordsman (played by Mel Ferrer).
Set up is long and tedious. The movie only really gets interesting towards the end, once Andre Morou ends up in government.
From then it is quite interesting, with some good intrigue, humour and action scenes.
Overall though, so-so.
Good performance by Stewart Granger in the lead role. Good support from Mel Ferrer, Janet Leigh and Eleanor Parker.
