Did you know
- TriviaStewart Granger wore lifts in the film so he would appear to be the same height as his slightly taller co-stars Mel Ferrer, Henry Wilcoxon and Richard Anderson. Granger's height was often listed as 6'3" but it is widely believed he was actually 6'1".
- GoofsThe soldiers wear uniforms from the Napoleonic era, not the pre-Revolution period.
- Quotes
Andre Moreau: You may turn your back on Scaramouche, my lord, but surely you will not run away from Andre Moreau?
Noel, Marquis de Maynes: Scaramouche, you have just given your last performance.

An Unknown Gem
I came across this movie it in Blockbuster Movies Online while searching for movies to rent. I had never heard of this film before but the line up of stars, Stewart Granger, Eleanor Parker, Mel Ferrer and Janet Leigh, and the description intrigued me. The story of Scaramouche is set in the turbulent times prior to the French Revoultion. The film makes no political statement and is purely entertaining featuring some the greatest sword play ever filmed. The period costumes and sets are fantastic and the color superb throughout. Stewart Granger is at his dashing best and Janet Leigh is a beauty to behold! This is an unknown gem of a movie and deserves to be included the list of all time classics!
