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
@@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.
In order to best Ferrers character, I think Grangers character decides to be trained by the man who trained Ferrers character. In order for Grangers character to gain the advantage. Cunning plan.
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.
Basil Rathbone was the best fencer in Hollywood. Watch his fight scene with Tyrone Powell in the Mark of Zorro. Unfortunately Basil always had to loose, because he was the villain 😅
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.
@@Ross-e9owell, any sword fight with Basil Rathbone. He did a good one with Errol Flynn in some pirate movie, and then he was the sheriff of Nottingham doing broadswords
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 !
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.
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 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.
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
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..
The count in prolonging the fight to humiliate and torment his hated opponent before finishing him. Gives his opponent the chance to run away to return to fight another day.
I don’t think Flynn and Grangers fencing skills are comparable. Both excelled in their style and technique. Although I do very much enjoy Captain Thorpe and Lord Wolfinghams duel towards the end of The Seahawk.
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!
Okay? Everyone here? I have seen the final sword fight, but not the entire film. I looked on IMDB and can find no explanation for why the armor moves…twice…just after the chandelier drops. Is that a plot thing? The first time it moves, it looks like shock or wind, but the second time it looks like someone is IN it. It’s’ arms move up, like it’s going to fight.
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.
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 @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 ...
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 it's funny though, people over rating these badly choreographed scenes with actors clumsily wielding blunt fencing foils as if they actually cut things. They don't make them like this any more, thankfully
As an actual fencer I can tel that they were way too close striking steel against steel in order to finish the action with a point thrust. That was in this movie accomplished starting from out of distance with a rapid advance followed by several faints and a final lunge . Nevertheless, it was a very good duel.
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"
I'm swimming against the current here, but I thought the final fight scene was ridiculous. In the book, the final fight was quick, but because the author was able to interrupt the action with the thoughts of each fighter, and explain their strategies, it seemed very satisfying.

Not as good as Tyrone Powell and Basil Rathbone In the Mark of Zorro. That is the best sword fight ever. Basil was the best swords man in Hollywood. Two time British Army fencing champion. Check it out. It’s only 3 and a half minutes long. But very fast and fluid.

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.
One of the best movies, and the final scene is just brilliant.
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 two greatest actors of all time. Steward Granger and Mel Ferrer.
In order to best Ferrers character, I think Grangers character decides to be trained by the man who trained Ferrers character. In order for Grangers character to gain the advantage.
Cunning plan.
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 😅

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
Read the book which is great. The real twist in the story will shock you more.
@@davidlea-smith4747 Great idea. Thx. Never knew this was based on book. Will do :D
In the novel, the antagonist IS his father!
Nice eider shots and long takes. We know they're really doing it. They rarely make films like this anymore!
Love this Movie one of my favorites
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 😎
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 !
Pourquoi on trouve pas le film complet à visionné svp splendide film à voir et revoir…
One of the greatest films from that golden age of cinema 👍
I was crazy over Stewart Granger in the '50's. He always played in costume dramas and was incredibly handsome.
My goodness He was GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!
One of my favourite films.
A masterpiece of a film so good so excellent 👍
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 novel is amazing, one of my favorite books.
Very star wars tesb!
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.
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.
Stewart Granger is a junior fencing champion when he was in school I think.
Wow
Boxer i believe, he was a junior boxing champion
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.

Mel Ferrer studied at Eaton.
Esta escena es muy buena y toda la pelicula tambien

Technique changed a lot from 16th until 18th century when this movie takes place
I miss those old movies.

Imposible hacer hoy películas tan bonitas.
The count in prolonging the fight to humiliate and torment his hated opponent before finishing him. Gives his opponent the chance to run away to return to fight another day.
Please show people all classic movies before we die.
My favorite as a kid was Guy Williams a very athletic and charming actor.
I Love This Movie
Can't help thinking of Danny Kaye
in The Court Jester.!
I don’t think Flynn and Grangers fencing skills are comparable.
Both excelled in their style and technique.
Although I do very much enjoy Captain Thorpe and Lord Wolfinghams duel towards the end of The Seahawk.
Will you do the fandango
Fencing, like ballet, is a true art form.
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!
Hermosa pelicula ,con mi actor favorito Stewart Granger
J'adore
El duelo de esgrima entre Stuart Granger y Mel Ferrer en ésta película es de antología.
Very good ⚔ sword movie ⚔ Stewart Granger and cast
Excellent book!
The days when men in wigs could kill you in less than a second.
STEWART GRANGER EIN ABSOLUTER SUPERSTAR ❤❤❤❤❤
Why did the statue move at 3:29?

The best I ever saw as a teenager in early 70s as I was born in 1956. Saw the movie in Secunderabad , India. The only movie of Stewart Granger. 😊
Stewart Granger, Mel Ferrer, só fera
Isn't that Stewart Granger, the guy with tje grey shirt?
...will you do the Fandango?

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.
Yes, but can do the fandango?
Slow motion please
This classic fencing fight is faaaaaaaaar better than the Chinese or the Japanese sword fight. Very realistic and dangerous.

Actually, all the swordfivhts in this movie are inferior to the best work of Fred Cavens. The choreographer for this film was Jean Heremans.
i didnt like the ending. he should have married you know who! and the other one, you know who! disappointing.
