Amazon.com essential video:
First film by director Ridley Scott barely got released in this country in the mid-1970s, but stands up, despite the rather noticeable accents of its stars. That's because Brooklynite Harvey Keitel and Westerner Keith Carradine are playing a pair of officers in Napoleon's army--oops! The plot centers on Carradine insulting Keitel and Keitel demanding vengeance. But every time they get into the middle of one of their duels, war breaks out or something else happens to interrupt. Keitel, however, is too pig-headed to let it drop and dogs Carradine over the course of 20 years. Strong performances otherwise and amazing cinematography, as well as a cast that includes Albert Finney, Edward Fox, and Tom Conti. --Marshall Fine

I first saw this movie in a theater,then when it was on cable,then I bought the VHS tape,now I have it on DVD.
I'm really not that familiar with uniforms or styles of the period,but I take it the films makers made sure they were correct,Harvey Keitel is excellent as the atagonist,and Keith Carradine is also perfect as the target of a maniacs spite and rage.
This movie is well done,the scenery is awesome,and the duels,well thats what makes this movie what it is,exciting,and it keeps you ... Read More

One of the finest movies I've ever seen. Not only is the story fascinating, kind of a Les Miserables theme, but the costuming and scenery were beautiful. The whole movie was like an 18th Century French or Flemish painting.
The theme is dark, but very realistic and believable. Carradine and Keitel are both at their acting peak. Very suspenseful and riveting.
I've loved this movie for many years and gladly recommend it to anyone. This is an outstanding movie of the Napoleonic ... Read More

A truly unusual film, both unique and brilliant. It is also one of my personal favorites. The Cinematography helps make the mood of the time but the real story is that of obsession, unrelenting hatred and uncompromising honor. The Napoleonic officer, Feraud [Harvey Keitel] doesn't like his fellow officer, D'Hubert. As a matter of fact, he hates him and won't rest until he's dead. Why? It seems that D'Hubert has...under orders...interfered with Feraud's participation in a previous killing duel.

I'll be brief, since there are already many reviews.
Beautifully filmed, and great acting by Keitel and Carradine. For me, this was the perfect portrayal of a rational man, bound by honor (Carradine), forced to deal with a lunatic (Keitel) obsessed with killing him. Carradine cannot run and must fight, based on the code to which he adheres, but cannot bring himself to kill his opponent when he has no reason to do so.
I'm no expert on fencing, but the swordplay stood out, and had ... Read More

It is mind-boggling to discover that this film was made on a budget of 900K. It carries a strong sense of authenticity (the times and the places). And the filming is genius,.... haunting and beautiful. It's primarily about two very different men. One full of ego and hatred, feeling he has a lot to prove. The other,... resigned to his fate as an army officer, but with no desire to prove anything. But neither will he relinquish his dignity or honor. And the latter is plagued by the former for many years, and ... Read More
