Scene in a movie I need identified...!

[barnacler]

I wonder if the vast TERB community can help me.

There was a part of a movie I saw, maybe 30 years ago, it was set I guess around the era of 'The Count of Monte Cristo".

Anyhow, it is set somewhere in Europe, I suspect France, and one brother is is killed in some kind of swordfight or duel by a villain of some sort.

The brother has a twin, and he eventually finds out, and arrives at a place where the murderer is having dinner, tells him that he is his brother's twin, and that he ( the villain) will find him to be a much more challenging opponent than his brother was, and challenges him to a duel the next day.

He says, "Enjoy your dinner, it shall be your last".

Then the next day he kills him.

Anyone know what movie that was?

try this.

It is way older than princess Bride.

Not count of Monte Cristo, but set in that era.

Are you referring to Captain Blood?

Basil Rathbone was an Olympic fencer, Errol Flynn was a novice. The only time Flynn didn't drink, training for his swordfights.

I'm gonna guess it is "The Corsican Brothers".
Movie has been remade a bunch of times, though, so I don't know which one.
Was it in Black and White? I think the 1941 version is the only one that would fit if so.
There are definitely versions from the 60s to the 80s made in different countries.

yeah I think it's this one. You may have crossed your recollection with a book or some European movie

Just for shits and giggles, when I was a little kid around 1970 some family members took me to a movie (I have no idea why) I've never been able to ID.

Plot from sketchy memory: Two adult brothers in a spooky mansion with their mother. The good brother is confined to a wheelchair. The bad brother has a sexy dark-haired wife who is hell-bent on seducing the good brother, who tries to avoid her like the plague. Anyway, the only reason I remember this movie is a scene where the wife is skinny dipping in the pool and they show a close-up of her beautiful naked ass as she's climbing out of the pool. Pretty sure that jump-started me into puberty. It ended (spoiler alert. LOL!) with the mother shooting the bad son as he was about to kill his brother, after he had already killed his wife (the bastard!).

Any ideas on what movie this was?

Any idea who the actors were in it or director was?
US / UK / /AU / Europe dubbed?

Such a great scene, but I still don't think that's the movie @barnacler was thinking of.

I'm going to take a wild stab at The Brain Surgeon's clue but my memory is foggy. I only remember the skinny dipping scene with the delicious biscuit, the actress who did the scene was Julie Newmar. The brothers were played by Gregory Peck and Kirk Douglas, can't remember the name of the film.

I daresay, it could very well be this that barnacler is searching for...

...as time goes by we tend to recall film memories slightly different than the original viewing.

It's most enjoybale watching again with sharper sensibilities.​

It could be, there is a Corsican Brothers aspect to that film as well.

The definitive Corsican Brothers film

The Corsican Brothers sounds right! You guys are geniuses!

Any idea where I can get at it?

 

[barnacler]

Now not sure, I , just read the plot, in the movie I saw the one brother definitely dies, the other arrives.

The key thing was the line"\]

enjoy your dinner, it shall be your last"

or something like that.

 

[Valcazar]

In The Corsican Brothers, one brother usually dies. Sometimes one fake dies and the other doesn't know the brother is still alive.

Which version (if it is one) has the specific line about "enjoy your dinner, it shall be your last" ? No idea.
