A sumptuous swashbuckler, with romance, swordfights and a slyly subtle wit. It's 1699, and dashing young blade Lagardere (Daniel Auteil) becomes the best friend of the fabulously wealthy Duc de Nevers (Vincent Perez) who must produce a legitimate heir. Loitering with intent is Nevers's treacherous cousin, Count Gonzague, who rather fancies a bite of the cherry, and is prepared to do anything to get it. An excellent, highly entertaining adaptation of Paul Feval's novel.

The man of the moment becomes the man with a metal mug in this Hollywood swashbuckler based, and I use the term loosely, on Alexandre Dumas's novel "The Viscount of Bragelonne".

A visually extravagant production of this classic tale of adventure and romance. There's lots of swashbuckling action as D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers try to return the stolen diamonds to the Queen of France in time for the ball. With energetic performances this is a fun film to see!

CertificationU Our Rating
A Disney adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's cracking yarn of high-seas skulduggery and piratical adventure. Young Jim Hawkins sets off to sea with high-hopes, not expecting to be press-ganged by pirates in search of buried loot. Excellent swashbuckling action with some beautiful scenery.
