The Black Tulip

1964 · 115 min

A swashbuckling romp with charm, swordplay, and mistaken identity, light-hearted and easy to enjoy.

Overview
Aristocrat Guillaume de Saint Preux leads a double life as a masked bandit known as the Black Tulip. The Black Tulip only robs rich aristocrats, so the local peasants regard him as a hero. Baron La Mouche is convinced Guillaume is the Tulip. During a robbery, he scars the Tulip's face, and hopes to use this to expose Guillaume, but Guillaume is one step ahead.
