"A big, gorgeous, sprawling swashbuckler." - San Francisco Chronicle
A swashbuckling, action-packed adventure from the director of THAT MAN FROM RIO and KING OF HEARTS. It takes the cavaliere Lagardere sixteen years to avenge his friend the Duke of Nevers, who was assassinated by the Duke's cousin and only known heir. Sixteen years to assert the triumph of morality, protect the true heir, save honor...and find love.
Film critic Richard Pena introduces the films of Philippe de Broca (That Man From Rio, Five Day Lover, Up to His Ears, On Guard).
