Thanks to my benefactor i have received two days ago the actual DVD and already saw it ... all 142 minutes of it.
One only word to classify it: fantabulous .
I didn't know they care to make films like this; it looks like this one was commissioned by some mighty antique arms enthusiast ... forget the script .

Thanks, Senefelder. Added to my list. You mentioned American movies not holding up to this standard and I would agree. A rare exception would be the movie 'The Duelists'(1977), with Harvey Keitel. A long-lost classic...

I believe The Duelist has been on the list every time i've seen this topic come up in various forums and I would have to agree with you there.

Dope!! Oh well, there went my argument for a few well-made 'American' study history films. Guess 'The Patriot' will have to do...
