But after all, is it really else than a western? It is finally a disguised western, an Alexandre Dumas's adaptation set in Europe and not in America, and long before the conquest of the West.... But if you watch closely, it is a western for me; and Ray Nazarro was the best choice for the producers to make this movie. Richard Greene is the recurrent lead role for such swashbuckler, cloak and dagger stuff: DESERT HAWK, LORNA DOONE, SWORD OF SHERWOOD FOREST, SHADOW OF THE EAGLE...only George McReady is missing here, but Raymond Burr and Lee Van Cleef as the villains are not bad either. It is a good time waster as an adventure, costume action film, very efficient, professionally made. Worth catching.
