The Fighting Guardsman

A French baron (Willard Parker) leads rebels like a Robin Hood, stealing Louis XVI's taxes to give to the poor.

Ok Willard Parker might not be a typical choice for such a role, but he acquits himself quite well, coming across stalwart and upstanding. The film itself follows the routine lines of a Robin Hood type of story, but does it with some liveliness. The sword fights are good, and the added bonus is George McCready, who bolsters a film if he is the villain of the piece. It's predictable yet fun. Nice supporting cast and a smooth narrative help. Technicolor would've been great as it usually fits this genre - black and white is more for film noir and mysteries.
