    • Trivia
      The original piece writing was made in 1857. The movie was produced 140 years laters that its original writing. The same time between the related history and the writing.
    • Goofs
      When the Duc dubs Lagardère, the sword he draws and uses is a fencing foil, complete with guarded tip, rather than the rapier he uses in a later scene.

    Superb, Fun, Romantic
    If you want to escape from the world Le Bossu is a brilliant holiday.

    The subtitles are badly done as usual - give us Literal Translations please - we are not idiots!

    The story is a great romping swashbuckler that would make Errol Flynn proud. Perez and Autiel are especially good but the man that steals it is Fabrice Lucini - his voice would give anyone a lesson in French and he is very funny and diabolical - he should be a massive star.

    This film rollocks along and just shows you don't need complex plots to have a great movie - once again Hollywood scriptwriters - read it and weep... The French and the British are the only ones that can truly do justice to this sort of film.
