Would love to see this on DVD


Like so many of O'Hara's Technicolor swashbucklers from RKO, this one has been sadly overlooked. At least Fox gave us THE BLACK SWAN and Universal released AGAINST ALL FLAGS to DVD. (And a gray market copy of AT SWORD'S POINT can be found, online.)

Editions Montparnasse release a PAL version in France as Pavilion Noir. Not a great transfer, but acceptable. The french subtiytles are removeable but there are no extras apart from an introduction by a Frenchman with scary eyebrows.

"a Frenchman with scary eyebrows"

Jerre' Colonna, perhaps?

Thanks, Trevor!
