Review of The Devils Cavaliers (Cavalieri
del diavolo, I)
Fans of action/adventure films will love this movie, set in France during the
17th century. The leading role is played by Frank Latimore as Richard Stiller, a
cavalier who has returned from war in Spain in order to lay claim to the hand of
his childhood sweetheart Louise (Emma Danieli.) The snobbery of class; however,
intervenes in the form of the Duke of Varse, portrayed by Andrea Aureli. Before
long swords come to battle and there is a struggle for who will ultimately
control of the court. The Baroness Elaine is portrayed by Gianna Maria Canale, a
devious woman who is intent on destroying the lovebirds.
Action scenes add to the drama of this film along with excellent costuming and
casting. Those who love history, drama and action won’t be disappointed in the
least with this wonderful film. This could very well become a beloved classic
that will be watched many times.
