| | Notes | Set in the 17th century this is a good adventure story. When Lagardere is hired by the Count Gonzague to murder the Duke of Nevers. Instead he warns the Duke and they ride off. But the Count's men catch up with them and there is a massacre. Lagardere survives saving a baby who he raises as his daughter though she knows he isn't her father. There are complications in their relationship in true French style. Later Lagardere disguises himself as a hunchback so he can work for the Count to replace the hunchback accountant who has been killed. Hunchbacks are seen as 'emblems' of good luck. This film is a feast of photography, location and acting especially for those who enjoy French cinema and Daniel Auteuil.
