At Sword's Point
1952 (États-Unis)
At Sword’s Point reinvents the legacy of the Musketeers: the sons of Athos, Porthos, and d’Artagnan, joined by Aramis’ daughter Claire, join forces to protect an aging Queen Anne from a scheming duke. This adventure film, featuring a daring performance by Maureen O’Hara, combines courage, humor and swordplay. Claire, equal to men in intelligence and mastery of fencing, defies traditional norms with panache, embodying a rare balance between femininity and heroism. Although less well known, this film highlights a modernized vision of the Musketeers while paying tribute to their indomitable spirit.
