Noel, the Marquis de Mayne, a nobleman in love with the Queen, is ordered to seek the hand of a young ingenue, Aline, in marriage. Andre also meets Aline, and forms an interest in her. But when the marquis kills his best friend Andre declares himself the Marquis’s enemy and vows to avenge his friend. He hides out, a wanted man, as an actor in a commedia troupe, and spends his days learning how to handle a sword. When de Maynes becomes a spadassinicide, challenging opposing National Assembly members to duels they have no hope of winning, Andre becomes a politician to protect the third estate (and hopefully ventilate de Maynes).
Plot: In 18th-century France, a young man masquerades as an actor to avenge his friend’s murder.

A great film, they dont make them like that anymore
Scaramouche was and remains one of my all-time favorite films. It may not qualify as a deeply thought-out criticism of the social situation in France at the time preceding the revolution, but it does not intend to. It gives us a perfectly presented adventure with all the trimmings -revenge, disguises, hidden identities- plus the wonderful duel at the end. Stewart Granger and Mel Ferrer are both excellent. The entire cast presents the film while avoiding any slip into comedy and parody. The highly improbable story is presented seriously and here lies the beauty of this film. I have to admit being biased: I have always been a Stewart Granger fan and there is very little of the work of his “good years” that I do not like.
Flat
I saw this movie the day after I saw, for the nth time, Errol Flynn/Erich Korngold/Michael Curtiz’s masterpiece, The Adventures of Robin Hood. This movie doesn’t stand up well in comparison. It’s the same genre, the historical costume action drama. But while Robin Hood holds up wonderfully even after repeated viewing, this movie, for me, fell flat.I’m not sure that I can tell you why. The script, certainly, is not as clever. Granger, certainly, doesn’t have the flair Flynn did. The director here did not know how to create excitement the way Curtiz did. Certainly one big difference was the lack of a score that helped create excitement, as Korngold’s did and this one does not. Part of the problem, for me, is that too often Granger lacks the sort of self-confidence that makes Flynn’s Robin Hood so winning. Perhaps there are other reasons. In the end, however, I found this movie of no interest. I could definitely never get myself to sit through it again.
