Description
The dashing Douglas Fairbanks (1883-1939) was the silver screen's first swashbuckler, years before Errol Flynn (1909-1959). Extremely athletic, he performed all his own stunts, with a few rare exceptions.

Always the optimist, his last words were "I never felt better in my life."
A 1940 remake, directed by Rouben Mamoulian (1897-1987) and starring Tyrone Power (1914-1958), was released. Power lacked the athleticism of Fairbanks, but made up for it in good looks and charm.
High point of the film was a duel to the death between Power and arch villain Basil Rathbone (1892-1967). Rathbone was a world class fencer in real life and would have easily bested Power.
Ironically Power died 18 years later, collapsing in a duel scene with George Sanders, in King Vidor's final feature, "Solomon & Sheba" (1959).
