ALEXANDER DUMAS' IMMORTAL CLASSIC
Cultured Mario and outlaw Lucien, twins separated at birth, join forces to avenge their parents' death at the hands of evil Colonna. Because each feels all the same sensations experienced by the other, swordplay is difficult for them. Worse yet, raised very differently, they struggle to find common ground between their conflicting personalities. But to defeat their enemy, the two will have to overcome the obstacles and work as a team.

Average viewer score of 7.0/10 from 10 ratings.
Alexander Dumas liked stories about separated twins so this time we find it is brothers “Mario” and “Lucien” (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) who are born conjoined. The doctor manages to separate them but before they can do much more, violence at the hands of the cunning “Baron Colonna” (Akim Tamiroff) robs them of their parents and the boys are split up. “Mario” ends up being well brought up and used to the finer things…
