Cartouche is an unusual and interesting swashbuckler. For the first half, it's a raucous, funny tale of venality and romance that takes place in pre-Revolutionary France. Then it moves gradually into something more serious, and ends on a somber and decidedly fatalistic note.
Louis-Dominique Bourguigon (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a rogue and a thief, quick with his fingers or his sword. He's part of a large Parisian gang headed by Malichot (Marcel Dalio). Dominique thinks he can do better, ... Read More

In CARTOUCHE you made the rest of the 60s filmmakers seem out of date, and in Belmondo and Cardinale you found the perfect actors who could add the bubbles to your brand of filmic champagne. Now that you are gone, we think back to all the pleasures you have given us over the years, from your little parts in BREATHLESS and 400 BLOWS, to your most recent work discovering the Welsh coalminer's daughter Catherine Zeta Jones, and we are grateful to you for your inspired interventions and pizzazz. Not since ... Read More

A film that, for me, brings back all sorts of fond memories. I first saw it as a teenager during its initial American release in the 60's when I was just discovering that there were some really good films out there that weren't in English.

The legendary Jean-Paul Belmondo stars as 18th Century swordsman, thief and rogue Bourguignon, alias CARTOUCHE.

The most wanted man in France is about to discover that true love may be the most dangerous caper of all.
The great Phillipe de Broca co-wrote and directed this sumptuous and surprising adventure. No extras, but in this case, the movie ... Read More

I only take off a point because the color and sound are not quite as good as I would have hoped for a mid-'60s film and it's a tad overlong at 1 hr 55 min.
Otherwise, a very entertaining story (NOT a copy of Robin Hood, despite my allusion) combining humor, romance, and some tragedy, well-acted. Claudia Cardinale has never looked or sounded better and is convincing in her role to boot.
