Movie Connections:

Remake of Fanfan la Tulipe (1907)

ah what a disappointment

i have seldom seen such a lame movie... the humor is pathetic, with failed anachronisms and a constant tiresome blabber from all the characters, the action scenes are 'déjà vu' and lack originality, the whole film lacks energy and stamina and ginger....

forgive my english, it's made even worse by the anger i feel !!!!! :)
