Scaramouche (1952) on Netflix

Andre-Louis Moreau is a nobleman's bastard in the days of the French revolution. Noel, the Marquis de Mayne, a nobleman in love with the Queen, is ordered to seek the hand of a young ingenue, Aline, in marriage. Andre also meets Aline, and forms an interest in her. But when the marquis kills his best friend Andre declares himself the Marquis's enemy and vows to avenge his friend. He hides out, a wanted man, as an actor in a commedia troupe, and spends his days learning how to handle a sword. When de Maynes becomes a spadassinicide, challenging opposing National Assembly members to duels they have no hope of winning, Andre becomes a politician to protect the third estate (and hopefully ventilate de Maynes). —Kathy Linapolon bonaparte character18th centuryswashbuckler1780sfrance53 morePlot summaryAdd synopsisTaglinesThe Company that made "Quo Vadis" brings the world another spectacular romantic triumph!GenresActionAdventureComedyDramaRomanceCertificateApprovedParents guide
