Scaramouche---finally a decent old swashbuckler on DVD!

Anybody else pick this up? Very nice looking print of a totally fun swashbuckler. Still not many of the great old Errol Flynn movies on DVD, but this is a welcome release for fans of swordplay. I think the climatic duel is supposed to be the longest swordfight ever filmed---very enjoyable!

I rented it... looks like it was filmed last year, the picture is that nice. I generally liked the movie, apart from the (understandably) dated notions of romance...

I picked this up last weekend (Borders sale) and haven't had a chance to watch it yet - but everything I've read and heard sounds good.

Also picked up The Crimson Pirate which also has a stunning transfer, and is great fun.

Picked it up also. Maybe the best sword fight ever on film. I'm hoping that The Seahawk & Captain Blood make it out on DVD soon too.
