5.0 out of 5 stars "But Who Is Scaramouche? And Why Does He Hide His Face Behind a Mask?", 25 May 2008
By F. S. L'hoir (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Red-headed Eleanore Parker asks this question to a masked Stewart Granger onstage, when the latter unintentionally joins a tatty traveling troupe of commedia dell'arte actors. She kisses him; recognizes him; and slaps him in the face! Then the rest of the film focuses upon the quest of Andre Moreau (Granger) not only for revenge upon the Count Noel des Maines (Mel Ferrer)--the greatest swordsman in France--for killing his brother, but also in search for his true identity. During the process, Moreau, who plays Scaramouche in the play-within-the-movie, is such a success that the dubious fortunes of the traveling players improve immensely, and they are finally invited to play in Paris before the King and Queen. Meanwhile, Andre takes fencing lessons, and with hard work, he becomes the greatest swordsman in France. In fact, the last part of the movie (which I saw at least a dozen times as a child) depicts what I think has to be one of the greatest swashbuckling fencing matches ever choreographed and filmed.

I was fortunate enough to be in Paris when "Scaramouche" was re-released in the theatre in the 1990s, and therefore, I saw it in all its restored glory on the big screen. But it is just as good on your DVD player. "Scaramouche," which also features Janet Leigh and Nina Foche as Marie Antoinette, is elegantly costumed and magnificent to view. It represents the best of the Old Hollywood Big Studio movies!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a swashbuckler!, 1 Feb 2005
By Denis Smith (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the greatest action adventure films ever made. The swordfights are absolutely breathtaking (it has been said that this is the best ever fencing film) and the cast are all first rate. Something that struck me particularly now that I am older, and was watching the film for the first time in thirty or forty years, was how good Mel Ferrer was as the sadistic 'villain' (when you're younger, you tend to focus more on the hero and don't notice the other roles so much). If you have a taste for romance and adventure, and incredible, thrilling swordplay, buy this DVD. You won't regret it! The reproduction of the DVD is beautiful and clear, by the way, and the DVD also contains a very interesting interview with Mel Ferrer about the making of Scaramouche.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Restoration, but Unavailable, 18 Aug 2006
By Michael (Aberdeen) - See all my reviews
Having just seen a beautifully restored print of 'Scaramouche' transmitted on British television, I was surprised to find that it is not available on DVD for use in the UK. What a pity. As a fencer myself for many years, the swordfight truly is the best I have seen (who arranged it?). This is costume fencing at its very best and not surprisingly many people, including several subsequent Olympians, to my knowledge took up fencing in the 1950s after seeing it.
