Panache Summary
Director: Gary Nelson
Genres: Action, Adventure
Rating:
Panache, that dashing 17th century poet, swordsman and lover, is played by Rene_Auberjonois. In true Alexander Dumas fashion, Panache is accompanied in his adventures by two musketeers, naive Alain (Charles_Frank) and worldly Donat (David_Healy). In this made for TV pilot film, Panache and his comrades protect the Queen (Amy_Irving) from the machinations of Cardinal Richelieu (Joe Ruskin), whose chief lieutenant is the insidious Rochefort (Charles_Siebert). Everyone obviously had a lot of fun making Panache, especially Rene_Auberjonois, a consummate character actor who never received a TV role quite this colorful again. What a wonderful series this would have made...but 1976 wasn't the year of the TV swashbuckler, not with such 20th century favorites as Henry_Winkler and Suzanne_Somers around. Hal Erickson, Rovi
