'The Duellists' is a 1977 classic Napoleonic Wars history movie by Ridley Scott.
The story is based around Joseph Conrad's 1908 novella, 'The Duel'.
Two French Hussars are at odds with each other during and after the Napoleonic Wars; they fight each other in a series of duels.
This is the third duel fought between the two main characters;
Armand d'Hubert (played by Keith Carradine) vs. Gabriel Feraud (played by Harvey Keitel).
The feud has given the pair of fighters somewhat notorious reputations.
Feraud once again calls out d'Hubert, who has recovered from the serious wound he suffered in their previous duel.
D'Hubert's lover. Laura, fails in her efforts to stop the duel, and after some soul-searching decides to leave before the duel begins.
The new clash is fought in a cellar.
