It’s amazing there were such things as duels at all, over things we might consider trivial today!

Some of these literary narratives even found their way to the big screen. Ridley Scott‘s “The duellists“ even has a Flynn connection: the choreography was done by the son of Errol‘s fencing master Enzo Musumeci Greco (www.theerrolflynnblog.com…)

Thanks King Karl. I spent a fine evening with Renzo in Vienna. He is involved with the Italian Olympic fencing team and again worked for Ridley Scott on his latest movie “The House of Gucci“. Must have been a fork and knife fighting scene. www.renzomusumecigreco.it/cinema…
