Scaramouche (1952) Review

What a great movie! Lesser known than many other great swashbucklers, "Scaramouche" is nonetheless a top-notch production in every way.
Stewart Granger stars as the quick-witted Andre Moreau, a charming drifter who after the murder of his best friend dedicates his life to the destruction of the murderer, the cold-blooded Marquis de Maynes (Mel Ferrer). Along the way he fights many duels, romances sweet Janet Leigh AND fiery Eleanor Parker, and has several close shaves.
"Scaramouche" features a solid script, beautiful sets, lush costumes and gorgeous cinematography. The cast is excellent, with Mel Ferrer in particular giving shading and nuance to the role of the villain. The last 20 minutes of the film feature a long, spectacular sword fight that is a must-see for fans of the genre. I highly recommend "Scaramouche" to any film buff and especially to those who love adventure films.
GRADE: A
(As a side note, I have also read the novel on which this movie is based, and I found it very entertaining. The movie differs from the book in several key areas, so if you have yet to read the novel, don't worry, the movie won't spoil it for you.)

Everything you would expect from a 60's b-movie, except no nudity. There's some swimsuit and bra shots, but thats it.

Featured on episodes of Canned Film Festival and Mystery Science Theater 3000, and one of the films listed in Michael Medved's book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time has given Eegah a cult following. One night after shopping, a woman is driving home through the desert when she nearly runs her car into a giant cave man. Her father goes looking for this creature and turns up missing. When the woman goes searching for her father, she too, is kidnapped and taken back to a cave. When a frisky Eegah expresses a romantic interest in her, her fearful father suggests she put up with as much of it as she can bear. Soon they escape, the cave man follows, resulting in a confrontational ending.
