TCM this September is celebrating the suave swashbucklers of early cinema with stars like Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power, Douglas Fairbanks, and more on the network all month, starting on Tuesday, September 1 at 8/7c.
With a flashing sword, a rapier wit, and a rakish smile, rescuing damsels from distress while embracing life to the fullest, the heroes we think of as swashbucklers pretty much invented swagger. Even if they didn’t, these icons of literary, cinematic, and TV legend surely perfected the art.
