Sabre and Foil
Sabre and Foil is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 1967, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
The ancient and deadly sport of fencing, demonstrated by world masters in competition. The film is not a record of individual duels but it does capture the cool, merciless attack in a way to focus the eye on every swift maneuver. The cold clash of steel on steel, the staccato pound of feet, the strange, sculptured postures of the masked, white figures - all make absorbing, convincing viewing.
