Editorial Reviews

This delightful adaptation of Rafael Sabatini's swashbuckling novel stars Stewart Granger as Andre Moreau, an 18th-century French nobleman who is publicly humiliated by the Marquis de Maynes (Mel Ferrer). Challenged to a sword duel by the Marquis, Andre, who knows nothing about fencing, runs away, taking refuge with a theatrical troupe. He hides behind the personality of Scaramouche, a zany clown, and in his spare time romances his sexy leading lady Lenore (Eleanor Parker). Seeking revenge against de Maynes, Andre takes fencing lessons from swordmaster Doutreval (John Dehner). It isn't long before Andre has developed a reputation as the finest swordsman in France--which, as intended, arouses the ire of de Maynes. The two opponents face off in a deserted theater; the ensuing sword duel, running nearly seven minutes, is one of the best ever committed to film. Before he can plunge his blade into de Maynes, Andre discovers that he and the Marquis are half-brothers. The two men instantly forget their differences, and Andre's honor is fully restored. He ends up not in the arms of the sensuous Lenore but with a woman of his own class, Aline de Gavrillac (Janet Leigh)--while a gag ending reveals that Lenore has found herself a new and highly influential boyfriend. Lewis Stone, star of the 1923 silent version of Scaramouche, appears in the remake in the supporting role of Georges de Valmorin. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

September 07, 2009: This is one of the best films that I have ever seen! This film based upon one of the greatest romantic adventure stories in literature remains one of the greatest romantic adventure movies ever filmed! I love this movie; the filming, the dialogue; the color; the direction; the music; the performances are unforgettable. Stuart Granger is incredible. He is handsome,sexy,charming,exciting,engaging,poignant; the superlative adjectives are endless and he continues to be one of my favorite actors! I strongly reccommend this movie to all to be viewed time and time again.

I Also Recommend: The Adventures of Robin Hood, Captain Blood, The Mark of Zorro.

July 16, 2009: MGM put all its resources into this stunning swashbuckling tale of love, mystery, humour and revenge. The film looks expensive, and it was. The cast is unmatched, Granger, Parker, Leigh and Ferrer are all top shelf. Eleanor Parker is smoking hot, Janet Leigh smolders innocently. Mel Ferrer smilingly tricks gentlemen into duels, just to kill them; a deliciously subtle performance. Granger is tall, dark and handsome, like in all his films, but his athleticism in Scaramouche is fantastic. The final sword fight, between Granger and Ferrer is over ten minutes long; They trained for six weeks, and it is the most realistic, dangerous looking, and exciting swordplay I have ever scene in any movie. Yes It's that outstanding.
