Top Critic[A] delightfully funny sendup of swashbuckler movies...

Top CriticEven though the film moves at a snappy pace, its story still doesn't move fast enough.

Tiresomely tireless escapade.

You get a sense not only of Philipe's professional training, which clearly honed his skills in choreography and movement, but also of his natural charms. That the actor performs so effortlessly, so casually, is the real magic here.

Top CriticStarring the go-to couple of Gérard Philipe and Gina Lollobrigida, it features duels, chases and low-cut costumes, all in glorious black and white.

Top Critic...a perfectly jolly swashbuckler...if a bit dated.

Enjoyable but undeniably creaky; what played as glorious period tomfoolery to European festival juries and discerning U S audiences in the early 1950s now just seems quaintly pleased with itself.

Top CriticChristian-Jaque gets a bouquet for his effort, even though it's just this side of being complete.

Top CriticCahiers-savvy cinephiles will recognize Fanfan as the type of handsome prestige production that the French New Wave overthrew in the early '60s, but this example of the 'cinéma de qualité' is hardly a musty artifact.
