Nothing terribly interesting happens in this ornate costume drama set in France during the, er, 17th century or thereabouts. Ostensible lead Frank Latimore plays Richard Stiller (no relation to Jerry or Ben), a swashbuckling cavalier who's returned from the wars in Spain to claim the hand of his childhood beloved Louise (Emma Danieli). Alas, the ugly snobbery of class--personified by the Duke of Varse (Andrea Aureli)--and a thirst for illegitimately acquired power intrudes on their vanilla love affair, and swords are soon crossed in a less than epic struggle for control of the court. Gianna Maria Canale is somewhat effective as the devious Baroness Elaine, but the rest of the cast are utterly dull, and the outburst of action during the final reel cannot redeem this rather boring (if colourful) film.
