Synopsis: Rafael Sabatini's swordsman-turned-strolling actor Scaramouche is brought to life by Gerard Barry in this French/Italian/Spanish adaptation.

Actors: Louis Hayward, Patricia Medina, John Sutton, Charles Irwin, George Givot
Synopsis: This above-average Louis Hayward swashbuckler was sumptuously produced by Columbia's resident western specialist Harry Joe Brown.

Synopsis: Though usually associated with westerns, Columbia producer Harry Joe Brown proved to be up to the challenge of producing a satisfactory swashbuckler with Fortunes of Captain Blood.

Actors: Tyrone Power, Maureen O'Hara, Laird Cregar, Thomas Mitchell, George Sanders
Synopsis: Perhaps unintentionally, the 1942 Technicolor swashbuckler The Black Swan is a bondage fetishist's dream, with hero and heroine Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara taking turns being tied up and imprisoned throughout the film's brisk 85-minute running time.

Actors: J. Warren Kerrigan, Jean Paige, Charlotte Merriam, James Morrison, Allan Forrest
Synopsis: Although the Warner Bros. version of Rafael Sabatini's novel made Errol Flynn a star in 1935, it wasn't the first time the romantic adventure was made into a film. J.

Actors: Milton Sills, Enid Bennett, Lloyd Hughes, Wallace MacDonald, Marc MacDermott
Synopsis: This 12-reel silent adaptation of The Sea Hawk is far more faithful to the Rafael Sabatini original than the 1940 Errol Flynn version.
