Du Guesclin (1949)
Before Joan Of Arc
15 March 2024
This story should have been remade, for sure, with bigger budget and more terrific production design. Bertrand Du Guesclin was a true French hero, one century before Joan Of Arc, he also fought against the British armies during the one hundred years war. This is an interesting gem, shot in Black and White, but the directing looks naive, ankward from today's standards. In the sixties, it could have been a good stuff, I am sure. But for those moviegoers who love history, French history material, they won't be deceived. Awesome battle scenes, including castle siege battle. Hollywood would also have made something great.
