One of the dullest swashbucklers I've seen

The dashing Captain Richard Stiller falls in love with Countless Louise – but the pair find themselves up against a group of roguish plotters and swordsmen who'll do anything to destroy the union.

This is a lacklustre and frankly boring entry in the run of swashbucklers that came out in Italy around 1960 – they were never as big or popular as the peplum films that ran alongside them (which is perhaps why THE DEVIL's CAVALIERS is virtually forgotten today) and they were inspired by the likes of Zorro and the Three Musketeers.

I have to say that the swashbuckler genre isn't one of my favourites – I enjoy classics like THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD of course, but the rest of the B-grade flicks are all too much of a kind for me to like. That's exactly the problem I had with this movie, too, and there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary or indeed interesting enough to recommend..
