El Juramento de Lagardere is a 1955 Argentine film directed by León Klimovsky, based on a screenplay by Emilio Villalba Welsh after the French novel Le Bossu -El jorobado by Paul Féval. The film stars Carlos Cores, Elsa Daniel, Andres Mejuto and Golde Flami, and premiered on December 11, 1955.[1]
Set in the 17th century, the film is about the adventures of the French knight Henri de Lagardere. He disguises himself as a hunchback character, to avenge the death of a friend, and an affair with his widow.
Set magazine opined (translated from Spanish): "A book already taken to the international screen with other versions with famous interpreters. At this point it detracts from our values, whose effort would have been better applied to more attractive and more Argentinean themes". NG wrote that "It lacks sincerity, for not keeping the style demanded in such demonstrations, indispensable agility in movements, and in the handling of the sword."[2]
