By the way, have you ever seen the movie ‘the Prince of Foxes’. starring Tyrone Power and Orson Welles (as Caesare Borgia)? The dueling techniques they used (unfortunately with the rapier) were like nothing I've seen in other movies, and seemed rather realistic and not too pretty.

No, I don't think I've seen it... sounds interesting. And I don't personally have anything in particular against the rapier. I don't know enough yet to have an educated opinion... but just that some of the old German masters didn't care for it much. The Italians loved it. Our club is developing a curriculum for it.
