Ridley Scott's debut feature "The Duellists" (1977) is one of his most underrated films. It deserves mention alongside his later historical epic, Gladiator (2000). Scott based "The Duellists" on a Joseph Conrad short story which in turn was based on true historical events. In this video, I will break down those events and the bizarre relationship of the real "d'Hubert " and "Feraud", who were in truth named Pierre Dupont and François Fournier-Sarlovèze.
