Great Gratuitous Nude Scene, 30 July 2003
8/10
Author: davidemartin (davidemartin@cs.com) from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I often wonder if Bujold had it in her contracts that she HAD to appear naked at some point in any film she made in the 70s.

That said, the film is an enjoyable flick. I'm hoping the success of Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) prompts whoever owns Swashbuckler to give it a nice DVD release.
