Sometimes I wish the old swashbuckler movies would come back. The newer ones are sometime too far out of the imagination to be believed.

I loved his movies. He was incredibly handsome as was so many men during that period. The men these days have nothing on the debonair look

I can still see him swinging from high heavy drapes that ripped as he swung across to safety!! I was young and duly impressed.

The epitome of a swashbuckling actor that stayed with those who watched him. He dies a bit too young though, as did his son who vanished in Cambodian killing field days.
