"En Garde" -- a new add to my movie favorites!

[CarlZog]

In an old pirate movie thread, somebody recommended this French swashbuckling film, and it finally made its way to the top of my Netflix list over the weekend.

This was awesome!
Great sword fights, awesome Dumas-style story of revenge spanning decades.
Incredibly rich flavor of France in the beginning of the 1700s.

So to whomever it was that recommended this....Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Did a quick search for the title on Netflix and nothing came up.

It sounds interesting - does it have an alternative title?

He's probably talking about "le bossu", or On Guard with Daniel Auteuil:

It's a great movie, yes. Cool fight scenes.

Yes, that's the one. My apologies for not using the proper name.

CarlZog -

Forgot to ever get back to this thread. I watched the film and just wanted to thank you. A first-rate swashbuckler, and now among my favorites!
