The cold and desolation is magnificently portrayed. And I love that they fight side-by-side against the cossacks, but afterwards Feraud insists that the 'affair of honour' must continue.

For all his pig-headed-ness, Feraud is a man of honour in his way, he does not stab d'Hubert in the back when d'Hubert is sneezing after all. My favourite bit of the film also shows d'Hubert's honour, and being honour bound to go along with the duels: when he is confronted by Feraud's agents whilst walking in his fields long after the Bourbon restoration and he threatens to have them arrested (duelling being illegal of course). They respond that they have "proceeded on the basis that [d'Hubert] is a gentleman." and d'Hubert, forced to go along for one more duel responds, "I am, damn you, I am!"(Kym) + Warburton + (Classic40K) https://www.blogger.com/profile/17333928965917754588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-83176458996616373432017-03-11T14:32:15.813-06:002017-03-11T14:32:15.813-06:00Thank very much George, I'm delighted you like...Thank very much George, I'm delighted you like it.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-6202587910467377762017-03-11T14:27:17.878-06:002017-03-11T14:27:17.878-06:00Cheers Millsy!
