Short description
In 18th-century France, a young man masquerades as an actor to avenge his friend's murder.
What's left behind the scenes
- In the scene where the character played by Mel Ferrer challenges Stewart Granger's character to a duel at home, the latter lies on the floor as a heavy iron chandelier falls from above. According to the script, it was supposed to fall just centimeters from the protagonist's face. Director George Sidney suggested that Granger film the scene immediately without any rehearsals or strength tests for the cables. The actor refused and demanded that the cables be checked first. During the very first run-through of the scene, the cable snapped, and the chandelier crashed down, smashing through the studio floor. The scene had to be rewritten and reshot so that Granger's character rolls aside immediately after falling. The sound engineer found the clashing of the swords unsatisfactory, so it was re-recorded using the sound of clinking glass.
- Stewart Granger (who played André Moreau) wore special shoes on set to appear the same height as his slightly taller co-stars—Mel Ferrer, Henry Wilcoxon, and Richard Anderson.

The script required it to fall just centimeters from the main character's face. Director George Sidney suggested Granger film the scene immediately without any rehearsals or checking the strength of the cables. The actor refused and demanded that the cables be checked first. During the very first 'run' of the scene, the cable broke, the chandelier crashed down and pierced the floor of the set. The scene had to be rewritten in the script and reshot as if Granger's character, falling, immediately rolls away. The sound of the swords seemed unsatisfactory to the sound engineer, and it was re-recorded using the sound of glass.
