  Foster on Film - The Prisoner of Zenda
I've always thought of the The Prisoner of Zenda as a "smart" Swashbuckler, and it is, in dialog, character, and structure, if not in story.
Fairbanks has the charm and sex appeal to pull off the role, and in their climatic battle, it is sometimes hard to root against him.
Both the scenes with the heroes planning their intrigues and those with the villains plotting their treacheries are well paced, crisp, and fun, but The Prisoner of Zenda becomes one of the finest Swashbucklers when Rassendyll and Hentzau confront each other.
