A delightful, romantic & comedic romp with duels, nobility and no-good actors. Based on the rip-roaring novel by Rafael Sabatini. Radicalized by his friend’s brutal murder in revolutionary France, a sardonic provincial lawyer repeatedly evades the law by taking on a series of new identities—on orator, traveling comic actor, and finally a master swordsman to avenge his friend’s murder and rescue his love.
