4 out of 5 stars Pirate Movies.......2006-07-05

This a pretty good collection of Pirate movies, although the quality and special effects left a little to be desired. Overall, this collection is worth it.

5 out of 5 stars A great must have pirate collection.......2006-03-09

The collection of pirate movies is a must have giving you some of the greatest with terrific stories and acting.

4 out of 5 stars Plenty of swashbuckling action for cheap!.......2004-05-05

I love a good swashbuckler classic, & you get a pretty good collection here for a very low price. Captain Kidd stars Charles Laughton in another great villanous role, & Randolph Scott, who was 46 at the time(!), as the man determined to bring him to justice. Considering it was made in 1945, the picture quality is pretty good. This is a fun classic for swashbuckler fans. The Son of Monte Cristo is definitely one of the corniest movies I've ever seen! Most of the dialogue is unintentionally hilarious, but it was very entertaining & makes the perfect movie for a rainy night! It stars Louis Hayward, George Sanders, Joan Bennett (who was in several great film noirs), & Clayton Moore (the Lone Ranger!). Long John Silver's Return to Treasure Island is the fun sequal to Treasure Island, & Robert Newton once again plays a pirate to perfection! The picture quality is below adverage, but the film itself is great. This is probably the most entertaining of the three films thanks to Newton's over-the-top performance that kept me laughing the whole way through! These aren't masterpieces, but they're great fun for the whole family & well-priced.

5 out of 5 stars BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS.......2007-01-09

I bought this film because I missed the good old days when I was athletic and young. I fenced as a kid and was always happily surprised when a new SwashBuckler (SB) came out. In this typical "B" film the old Louis Hayward sword and cloak genre, of many Monte Cristo and other SB's, Monte Cristo saves a nation from evil in the usual manner, by the clanging of sharp steel and innocent and childlike planning, which strategies would not win a checkers game, let alone a game of life and death chess. But in the end, the fun of watching a film from one's days of innocence, trumps it's lack of intellectual stimulation. If you are in a nostalgic mood, or buying for a boy under age 10, you can't go wrong here, despite the black and white film. I give it 3.5 stars, the last star and a half for nostalgic reasons

4 out of 5 stars A wonderful piece of nostalgia.......2006-11-05


This brings back many wonderful memories of Saturday nights at the pictures. (movies to our American friends) Louis Hayward swashbuckles his way through a ruritanian tale of treachery and betrayal whilst George Sanders presents a truly menacing adversary. In black and white and no doubt tame by the present day offerings of violence and bad language, nevertheless people of my generation would enjoy this.

4 out of 5 stars An Old Fashioned Swashbuckler, And Not Bad.......2005-10-04

"Menaced by more powerful nations, the country of Lichtenburg - tiny but proud - is known as the Jewel of the Balkans. Steeped in the ancient tradition of romance and chivalry, her people hold unswerving loyalty to the throne - on which now sits the young Grand Duchess Zona, who rules under the sinister shadow of one man - General Gurko Lanen."

And with this opening crawl, we're off on one of Hollywood's better swashbucklers. Gurko Lanen (George Sanders) is a cruel, smart tyrant. He's the son of a stone mason, determined to win legitimacy for his rule by marrying the lovely Zona (Joan Bennett). A nascent group of freedom fighters, sworn to overthrow Lanen and free Zona, is on the verge of being crushed. Zona is fleeing to France with a secret message imploring the French to come to her aid. Her loyal premier has been accused of treason by Lanen and imprisoned. Then just as Zona's racing carriage is forced to stop with a troop of Lanen's cavalry in pursuit, to her aid comes a handsome stranger (Louis Hayward), apparently out hunting. She's not to worry, he tells her, because his father was the best swordsman in France. Only later, when he secretly determines to help her by playing the fop with Lanen, does she realize that he is the son of the Count of Monte Cristo. The movie reaches a climax when Monte Cristo, who has also become the leader of the rebels as The Torch, unleashes a plot upon Lanen that will destroy him, free Zona and bring happiness once again to Lichtenburg.

The Son of Monte Cristo, as a rip-roaring adventure, is a darn good movie, but it was cursed with having "public domain" painted across its forehead. It has great sets filled with dank dungeons, weeping stone walls, hidden passages, a crypt full of moldering skeletons, sumptuous halls of state, and massive oak doors with iron hinges. It also has some clever dialogue. "General von Lanen," Zona orders, "I command you to set Baron von Neuhof free at once!" "Ordinarily, your wish would be my command," Lanen replies with a smirk, "but von Neuhof must die. I understand your grief. You're thinking of his services to you. But I must consider his danger to me." "I consider that you're having him murdered," Zona says. Lanen smiles at her. "When the same thing happened to Caesar and Louis XVI," he says, "they called it patriotism."

George Sanders nearly walks off with the movie. He looks the part, big shouldered, standing erect and with a buzz cut. Gurko Lanen is no fool, he doesn't believe in luck, and he doesn't take unnecessary chances. And in a nice touch, as much as he intends to force Zona to marry him, it appears he really loves her. Joan Bennett is gorgeous. As an actress she always seemed more intelligent than many. Here. she's more than the standard maiden in distress. Louis Hayward plays Edmund Dantes, the rich son of Monte Cristo, with great panache. He can use a sword with ease, leap over walls and down from balconies. He's a hero with a sense of humor. "I'm worn out climbing in and out of windows and up and down chimneys," he says. "It'll be such a relief to go through an ordinary door again." He makes an engaging fop and a believable action figure.

Incidentally, the director, Rowland V. Lee, also directed 1934's The Count of Monte Cristo with Robert Donant. It's a genuine classic and deserves to be on DVD in a sumptuous transfer.

The DVD I have is from Alpha Video. The picture is clear enough, but faded. Scratches and specks are visible but not too distracting. There are no extras and only four chapter stops.

5 out of 5 stars DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE, DOUBLE YOUR FUN.......2007-02-28

No, I am not pushing Wrigley's Doublemint Gum. Quite the contrary, there is absolutely nothing "gumming up the works" in these two stunning releases from MARENGO FILMS. I went through every release of CYRANO DE BERGERAC on the DVD market before trying the MARENGO version, and I can now say all competitors pale in comparison. Throw away all those other dupey, soft focus copies with hissing sound. MARENGO has made it possible to see CYRANO just as it was on a theater screen in 1950. The picture is razor sharp and the sound is loud and clear from start to finish. What a joy it was to watch such a beautiful transfer of this marvelous film!

And the exact same can be said for SON OF MONTE CRISTO. After going through nearly all of the other horrible transfers of this title, I am delighted to report that MARENGO has hit the nail squarely on the head. The picture and sound are both truly exquisite.

And folks, take a look at the low, low price. You get two fantastic films in fabulous transfers for less than you generally pay for just one DVD title. Three cheers for MARENGO FILMS!!!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT VALUE.......2004-12-02

Like the other reviewers here have stated, the transfers are very good. I read a reviewer at "DVD Town" who wrote that this transfer is much better than a previous Marengo release of "Cyrano." Aside from the quality, the stories of both movies are very interesting. "Son of..." is a good movie I had never heard of before.

5 out of 5 stars WORLDS GREATEST SWORDSMAN.......2003-09-12

First... these two prints are FANTASTIC... the sound is PERFECT.
If you like real heroes you will love Cyrano, if you like love stories you will love Cyrano, if you like swashbucklers you will love Cyrano... Can you tell I LOVE THIS MOVIE... The Son of Monte Cristo was enjoyable too... it's a kick to see Clayton Moore without his mask...! Excellent product from Marengo Films.

5 out of 5 stars Cyrano at his best.......2003-07-25

Cyrano is a classic figure and this film brings out the essence of his grace. The imperfect hero, the long nose, the malancholy, the honor of it all is captured to perfection in this film. The print and sound are wonderful.

Marengo Films has done a very nice job of paring this with The Son of Monte Cristo. Obviously the "B" title of the double feature, this print is also excellent. Watch for Clayton Moore in his early acting days before he became, The Lone Ranger. The price paid for these two films is a bargain.

5 out of 5 stars Superb Cyrano.......2001-11-21

Marengo Films has put together two fine films on one DVD. The quality of the prints is superb as is the sound. A fantastic bargan.

      1 out of 5 stars Great Film Horrible Copy.......2005-12-14

      This is a great George Sanders, as the bad guy, and Louis Hayward, as the good guy, film shot in the 1940's. It even has Clayton Moore (the Lone Ranger) in an early role showing his face (for those of us who were fans of the Lone Ranger but never saw his face). I've always liked this film. It has a plot line similar to the Prisoner of Zenda. George Sanders is always great as a villian. It was a low budget B film but the director and actors did good with what they had. That is the up side. The down side is that Cheezy Flicks Ent copy of this film is marginal at best. Its such a bad copy that after watching the first 10 minutes I had enough and stopped the film. I gave it away at as a white elephant gift. A bad copy of a good film is still a bad copy. It looks like a copy of a copy of a copy. This film is one that someone like Artisian should restore and release again. But instead of buying this copy you should run away as fast as your feet can carry you.

      5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Classic!.......2005-06-22

      This is a B & W classic starring Louis Hayward as the son of Count Of Monte Cristo. The son stumbles upon the knowledge that the wicked general of Litchenburg was plotting to become king by forcing marriage to the queen Zona and by killing anyone who got in his way. Of course One of the major heros in this film is the son of the great Count, so he exhibits the same strength, sword fighting skills, and honor of his father. This is an excellent movie plot filled with drama, romance, betrayal, and action. Louis Hayward has to disguise himself as a fool in order to uncover the evil general's plan. This disguise is similar to the fool's disguise of the recent remake of the Scarlet Pimpernel. This is another great movie that we have added to our classic collection.
