Not to change the thread but Flynn reported to the SPCA about all the horses hurt and killed in Charge of the Light Brigade which lead to regulations protecting animals in movies.As a animal lover I commend him for this and he was a darn fine actor too.

Off topic but....


My Wicked Wicked Ways: The Autobiography of Errol Flynn (Paperback)

I understand he was nice to the fans as well.

If you like sword fights like I do, my favorite is an old French movie:
Le Bossu (1959) .... with Jean Marais playing Henri de Lagardère
... aka La spada degli Orléans (Italy)
... aka The Hunchback of Paris (USA)
... aka The King's Avenger (USA)
... aka The Yokel (International: English title)

 

[Scott]

Thanks That looks like fun. Netflix doesn't have it, but I'll keep my eye out for it.

 

[Grognard]

Hi Scott,

Amazon.ca has the new version of this movie with Daniel Auteuil in NTSC format. Marie Gillain plays Aurore de Nevers (I know you like pretty French women)

Enjoy!

 

[Grognard]

Scott,

The new version is actually on NetFlix, it is called "On Guard".

Enjoy!

 

[Grognard]

Scott, another one you would like is "Brotherhood of the Wolf" on NetFlix as well.

Enjoy!

Yes I own BotW as well. It is one of my favorites. I will look for On Guard. Now if I could only find a DVD for my region of By the Sword.

 

[Scott]

I just reserved On Guard on Netflix.

[Scott]

I just watched it! Very good!

 

[Grognard]

Glad you liked it!

What's with the ugly French heros? Gerard Depardieu, Daniel Auteuil, Jean Reno? Do they give we old homely guys "hope?"

 

[Spitfrnd]

I should have it shortly from Netflix as well. It looks quite promising. Have either of you seen "By the Sword"?

 

[Scott]

That's "Prince and The Pauper" retooled. A good one!

Yes with a homely hero. Now if only I could get a dvd version playable on US machines.

 

[Scott]

OOps sorry, I was thinking "Crossed Swords."

You meant "By The Sword"

Correct, I was sure how you were getting the prince and pauper in it but it does have a down and out / redemption plot so.....

 

[Grognard]

Yes with a homely hero. Now if only I could get a dvd version playable on US machines.

I couldn't find a DVD of this movie in NTSC format anywhere either. But I have a DVD reader that can read PAL format so I will order the PAL version...

Now if you only had one that could copy into a region 1 Format.

have to admit my favourite sword duels are from the film Highlander..mcleod (christopher lambert) vs the Krugen. Uma Thurman looked good with Samuri sword in hand in Kill Bill 2 and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon literally took the sword duel to new heights
