Two French officers duel with swords and pistols off and on over a 15 year span. The tiff started when one of the officers, a raging psychopath, felt his honor had been compromised. He really just wanted a reason to kill again. The film made me think it was really in the early 1800's, very realistic and the scenery was beautiful. The finale, which was shot in and around an old ruin, complimented the show perfectly. 4 stars.
