Douglas Fairbanks Jr. described Akim Tamiroff as "an excellent Russian actor" who was "woefully miscast" in this film as he was "physically short and too fat." I vehemently disagree with Fairbanks Jnr.; Tamiroff is perfectly cast as Colonna and is the highlight of this sorry saga. But I did very much enjoy the double dose of Fairbanks Jnr.! What a year 1941 was for Ruth Warrick; the on-screen love interest of Tamiroff, Fairbanks Jnr. and Orson Welles ('Citizen Kane' was also released in 1941)!

A Fairbanks in a Alexandre Dumas story, that's usually a successful combination. And it is again. A fine performance from Jr., H.B. Warner as the doctor too. The bad guys were perhaps a little too comical i their scheming to create enough tension and I wouldn't have minded if they's made it more of a swashbuckler than it was, for it takes a while to get going focusing on the differences of the twin brothers and their personal demons. Another example of that Fairbanks vibrancy.
