Entertaining but not better than the 1952 version

(1923) Scaramouche ADVENTURE/ DRAMA

Adapted from the novel by Rafael Sabatini produced and directed by Rex Ingram with the story that takes place during the 1700's, when a best friend gets killed by a wealthy hierarchy seeking revenge or retribution to the person or the peoples' involved! Twists and turns galore which the only difference between this version and the more action wise 1952 version of the same name starring the physical Stewart Granger are the direction both films have made which are different. In this 1923 version, it delves to a more drama than action involving the casting of hundreds and hundreds whereas in the 1952 version the story centers between the duel between it's protagonist and the it's antagonist! Both are somewhat well made except that at times the story sometimes drags in this version that without the ending that it had, this movie would probably be an overall a bad experience.
