I was thinking of that movie when Zell Miller talked about challenging Chris Matthews to a duel. In Scaramouche, the reform party is literally under attack by the reigning party, which finds excuses to challenge their opponents to duels while not in session. Scaramouche comes along and evens the odds.
If you like that kind of movie, I recommend Jose Ferrer in
Cyrano de Bergerac. I think he's scarier than Granger's character. Steve Martin did a nice parody of Cyrano in
Roxanne.
