About Bardelys the Magnificent
Rafael Sabatini's story of the swashbuckling era and of Bardeleys, the handsome courtier who could win any woman he set his mind to...and was not above boasting about it to all who would listen.
Directed by King Vidor, Bardelys the Magnificent leans on a strong ensemble — John Gilbert, Eleanor Boardman, Roy D'Arcy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1926.
