L'assalto fatale (1913)

Agesilao Greco interprets a painter who falls in love with a countess but is forced to retire when she has to marry the banker who otherwise threatens to bring the indebted family to the ruin. Passing the fenced gardens and the conventional parlors, we finally get to the armory room, where rivals in love are challenging to blade, in a underhand and cruel game of slaughter.
