The BEST fencing movie

I'll start off:

My nomination of the BEST fencing movie has to be
Scaramouche wih Stewart Granger as Scaramouche.

He learned the 1-2, the double' etc.
About 7 solid minutes of proper fencing from the box, to the bannister, tothe hall, down the stairs, on to the back of the row seats finally on the stage.

Most memorable line:
(something like) "The sword is like a little bird: hold it too toight, it'll be squashed to death; hold it too lightly, it'll fly away."

Then there are the samurai movies with Toshiro Mifune as the samurai and Kurosawa the director. Only the black & white ones.

PK
