- Andre Moreau(Stewart Granger) takes Fencing lessons from Doutreval of Dijon(John Dehner), the very man who taught de'Maynes(Mel Ferrer), suddenly de'Maynes walks in on one of their lessons and the fight begins.
I was already a fencer when I saw this. Best fight choreography ever. I was the six the best fencer in Australia as a kid. Back in the day.
Then your mom woke you up and said hurry little sleepy eye, you're late for school again 😅
Did you know, both actors were actually very good fencers in real life. So for manny shoots in the film they were using real rapiers. And you can see it in this duell as well. Both had real rapiers with the exeption of the time with frame cuts. Both of them fought highly realistic, but telegrafed there strikes so they don't stab each other. That stuff woud today never be done like that. Because, the risk is to high.
The duel at the end of the movie is one of the longest in film history, and shows remarkable swordplay
because not only they did a great technical fencing performance but also display drama, fear, rage, all mixed emotions towards the family revelation mixed with the pollitical revolution
They practiced for 8 weeks and after 66 years later, it still is the greatest sword fight in movie history !!
@@tallthinwavy3 - I like it, but personally I like the sword fight in Mark of Zorro (1940) a tad more, even though it's much shorter.
@@leafyutube ah the best sword fight in history
@@leafyutube Both are amazing. The acrobatic work for the fight near the end of Scaramouche was incredible, and I remember Mel Ferrer stating quite a bit of what he did in that sequence he would not have done had he been older and wiser.
The best sword fight ever. The final fight was absolutely incredible
Why isn't it on TH-cam?
The last fight is ridiculous! Acrobatics, sound effects and hooha! There isn't a good bit of clean swordfight movement! This bit s so much better! It's less complicated, more organic.
@@JOHN----DOE It is but you have to pay.
This movie made me take up fencing - which, years later, was one of the reasons my wife married me. True story.
Nice!
Then You married thanks to Stewart Granger. I hope it was a happy marriage.
Wedding is still a duel...Just kidding 😉
She married your sword 🤭
@@tertia0011 Both she and her dad are fencing champions with several national championships under their belt 😎
Fantastic adventure film with a great cast . A truly great gem.Stewart Granger is in top form. I appreciate all of his adventure films.
I loved “King Solomon’s Mines” as well.
Nice eider shots and long takes. We know they're really doing it. They rarely make films like this anymore!
Fantastic film with a great story one could watch at least twice without getting bored.
This movie twist had the same effect on me as watching "I am your father" scene for the first time
The funny thing is while I was watching this scene I completely forgot that Mel Ferrer was just an actor who had to learn to fence. It's impressive that (having seen so many sword fights in movies) this scene works that well. I suppose it's as much about the sympathetic hero being so outclassed that pulls you into engaging with the scene so much.
This is only the beginning. The finale sword fight between the same two are absolutely breath taking. The very end is Steward Granger can never kill his own blood brother Mel Ferrer !
Mel Ferrer worked really hard for the duel at the end of the movie and Stewart Granger gave him lots of guidance.
Ha Ha that's ironic. Because, in the movie, Ferrer was supposed to be the master.
Steward Ganger was about to take the life of Mel Ferrer but fail because they are blood brothers.
In the novel by Rafael Sabatini on which this movie was based, the Comte de'Maynes was revealed late in the story as Andre Moreau's father. In the movie, they are revealed as brothers. Nevertheless, a great movie.
Luke, I am your father!
Baskerville22. Thank you for the comment. Makes me want to read the novel
The film has serious flaws: It is forced ending Andre with Aline, in the novel both grew up together and lived together for a long time, in the movie they barely know each other and fall in love.
André should have stayed with Lenore, she really loves and cares about him, they have known each other for a long time and have reciprocal feelings.
In the novel it made sense that André didn't stay with Climene because she was an ambitious and selfish girl.
It does not have as much emphasis on the social historical situation as the 1923 version that showed the French revolution.
The novel is amazing, one of my favorite books.
Very star wars tesb!
I Started to learn historical european fencing from XVI Century because of this Film. Of course IT is Not exactly The Same sword, but was The nearest I could find. And I love it!!! Rapier, HEMA
Stewart Granger is a junior fencing champion when he was in school I think.
Wow
Boxer i believe, he was a junior boxing champion
My goodness He was GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!
De'Mayne noticing the chandelier at 3:15 , quickly making the plan to force Andre to the ground and drop the chandelier on him a few seconds later.
If Stewart Granger hadn't insisted on making sure the Chandelier wouldn't crash to the floor while he was under it, he would have been killed.
Pourquoi on trouve pas le film complet à visionné svp splendide film à voir et revoir…
I'm glad Errol Flynn didn't play Scaramouche, it would be so obvious and predictable, and Stewart Granger never tried to immitate neither Flynn nor Fairbanks..
Love this Movie one of my favorites
The two greatest actors of all time. Steward Granger and Mel Ferrer.
Ahhhhh...the bit about the bird....older than dirt!
Hermosa pelicula ,con mi actor favorito Stewart Granger
Please show people all classic movies before we die.
This classic fencing fight is faaaaaaaaar better than the Chinese or the Japanese sword fight. Very realistic and dangerous.
? Donnie Yen and Wu Jing in Kill Zone
Esta escena es muy buena y toda la pelicula tambien
Rolls out of the way at 3:23, somehow rolls back, then out of the way the second time, Ha!
I hd to check that out and found that there are three rolls, the first roll is to the right, the one filmed from above is to the left and the third is to the right again!
I think powdered wigs should make a comeback .
The wigs in this movie are gorgeous, but they're not powdered. Powdered wigs would not be nearly this shiny.
I Love This Movie
Can't help thinking of Danny Kaye
in The Court Jester.!
J'adore
Not-fake-;Granger the swordsman.!
Not sure about the tights, myself
How many times - in movies - have we seen the hero become the master of a certain skill in a ridiculous short amount of time. Naturally talented, I guess.
In the book Andre spent 2 year as a fencing instructor and then running the finest fencing academy in Paris before the 'final' duel took place. The book is superb and while I love the film, it is only loosely based on the book.
@@davidlea-smith4747 Interesting
Fencer Jack! Man, it is good to see ya, babe.
Actually, all the swordfivhts in this movie are inferior to the best work of Fred Cavens. The choreographer for this film was Jean Heremans.
Jacky-o has lost his sword-o.
😎🏆 ⚔️
James Stewart best actor/fencer or maybe fencer/actor ever ?
Nidian31 JMN: I THINK you mean Stewart GRAINGER
JAMES STEWART is the guy who did all those westerns, not to mention "It's a Fine Life", and, as far as I know, never even HELD a sword in ANY of his films
@@mikegrossberg8624 nope... James Stewart
@@nidian31jmn41 Explain, please?
@@mikegrossberg8624 @Mike Grossberg just for me James Stewart is the best fencer actor ever. I'm convainced what he practise everyday some fencing.
His attitudes are they as a real fencer. Many actors plays theatre fencing and we see was not realy fencer.
The best actor is, cavalier, dancer, singer & fencer. Classic ...
Stewart Granger (born James Lablache Stewart; 6 May 1913 - 16 August 1993)

Happy is the rascal traveling life's biways; to whom the gods say "now here is a clever switch, you may have lost Diana on the highway but look there lies Aphrodite in a ditch"
Yes, but can do the fandango?
