Movie
On Guard
Synopsis
Its Anglicised title, On Guard!, offers a clue to the subject of this swashbuckling film from French New Wave pioneer Philippe de Broca. Set in the 17th century, Daniel Auteuil (soon to be seen in Small Cuts) stars as an ace swordsman caught up in the rivalry between aristocrats Fabrice Luchini (the baddie) and Vincent Perez (the goodie) He is saddled with a baby he must guard with his life to ensure that an inheritance goes to the right rather than the mighty. Breathtaking swordplay scenes that even Errol Flynn would bow to and enough plot twists and turns to spin the head of the Count of Monte Cristo, the film is joyous entertainment but endowed with a sense of morality and spirit that only someone of de Broca's experience can deliver.
