Basil Rathbone VS Tyrone Power
reportedly the most difficult duel ever filmed.
Basil Rathbone was a fencing master and had training with the foil,
Sabre, epee and could duel with weapons in both hands at the same time.
His skill was what made others look good.
Trone Power was an accomplished fencer himself,
his mother was an Olympic level competitor.
Basil Rathbone reportedly said:
“Power was the most agile man with a sword I’ve ever faced before a camera.
Tyrone could have fenced Errol Flynn into a cocked hat.”
