An original British Quad poster for the 1977 stunning historical drama ”The Duellists”

A British historical drama film directed by Ridley Scott in his directorial debut and produced by David Puttnam. Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine star in the leading roles.

The film is based on Joseph Conrad's short story "The Duel" (titled "Point of Honor" in the United States), first published in A Set of Six.

Set in France during the Napoleonic Wars, the film focuses on a series of duels between two rival officers, the obsessive Bonapartist Gabriel Feraud (played by Harvey Keitel) and aristocratic Armand d'Hubert (Keith Carradine), that spans nearly 20 years and reflects the political tumult of early 19th-century France.

If you ever have the opportunity to watch this at the cinema - do not hesitate. Made in the 70s, a time before CGI, the storyline and acting skills carry this period costume drama of two men with far too much testosterone for their own good …
