KL Studio Classics - The Black Tulip

International idol Alain Delon (Un Flic, The Girl on a Motorcycle) leaps into action in this colorful swashbuckling adventure from the pen of Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers). Who is The Black Tulip? France's most daring masked avenger one part Zorro and one part Robin Hood! In 1789 on the eve of the French Revolution, the townspeople of Roussillon live in fear of a tyrannical aristocracy. But a local hero emerges in the form of The Black Tulip (the dashing Delon). The Marquis (Akim Tamiroff, Alphaville), the Prince (Robert Manuel, Rififi) and the Baron try to quell his banditry, but this buccaneer for justice has the support of the revolutionaries and a very clever ace up his sleeve in the form of a twin brother! Stylishly directed by Christian-Jaque (Fanfan la Tulipe) and shot in sumptuous color by Henri Decae (Joy House), The Black Tulip (La Tulipe noire) has it all comedy, intrigue, sword-swinging action and Delon's fiery romances with the ravishing Virna Lisi (Queen Margot) and dazzling Dawn Addams (Zeta One)!
