At Sword's Point

It's set in seventeenth-century France, when the sons of those bold musketeers Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan, and the daughter of Athos, prove that their loyalty is as firmly rooted as that of their fathers in Dumas's immortal story by attempting to save the imperilled throne of France by thwarting the evil schemes of the ruthless Duc de Lavalle.

At Sword's point - or the son of the Musketeers- is a fast-paced, colourful adventure full of swordplay,humour - there's a keen sense of breeziness displayed throughout with nary a dull moment. There's an infectious sense of a feel-good factor. The swordplay is well-staged, and Cornel Wilde comes out best with his fencing display. He was a champion fencer with the U. S. Olympic fencing team and it's certainly evident here. Robert Douglas provides the villainy and he performs effortlessly. Maureen O' Hara is beautiful and strong-minded as ever. The climax fight between Wilde and Douglas is a showstopper.
