In 1844, Alexandre DUMAS published an exciting story about two twin brothers from Corsica, which was made into a film by Anton Giulio MAJANO in 1961.
The brothers Paolo and Leone (later: Geoffrey HORNE) are separated from each other as infants because their father is murdered by the Sagona family because of blood revenge. Without knowing about each other, they meet years later in Corsica: both are in love with the same woman, one brother is now even unknowingly friends with the parricide's son (Gerard BARRAY)...
So there is enough potential for conflict! The special thing about this adventure film is that the twin brothers have a telepathic connection with each other that has something slightly mysterious about it. With Gerard BARRAY (*1931), who acts brilliantly as always, there is a first-class villain who causes a lot of problems for the twins. The female lead roles are played by Emma DANIELI and Valerie LAGRANGE, who was recently seen alongside muscle god Steve REEVES in Morgan il pirata / König der Seeräuber. Geoffrey HORNE, who turned 90 on August 22, 2023 and who is known from THE BRIDGE ON THE KWAI RIVER, does a really good job as the main actor.
The must-see cloak and dagger film sold 481,000 tickets in West German cinemas and even 1,464,409 in French cinemas!
