A rather jarring mix of period drama, trashy romance, and all-star blockbuster, Duel of Hearts is a swashbuckling, bodice-ripping tale of slightly dubious quality. Based on a novel by Barbara Cartland, it provides the usual dollops of intrigue and love, although its choice of a female protagonist does at least give it some twist. The splendidly named Lady Caroline Faye (Alison Doody) is the story's plucky heroine, fighting to prove the innocence of her beau Lord Vane Brecon and discover his troubling inner turmoil. Donning a disguise that seems to consist largely of wearing her hair in a different manner, she places herself amongst the very people that would seek Brecon's undoing. Those looking for high-quality drama should probably go elsewhere, but this is an entertaining enough piece of silliness, combining the history of Regency England with the production values of a daytime soap opera. --Phil Udell

Customer Reviews

Male critics are for the birds.
I will never know why they choose a male critic to review the historical romance movies that we women love. Over 50% of books sold are romance, and still they don't get it, I have watched the TNT movies several times, and wish that they would make some new ones, they take us away from everyday life where we can fanasize about a handsome hero & heroine who are not involved in car chases and beating each other up every 5 mins. Time to get Marcus Gilbert from Hazard of Hearts & A Ghost in Monte Carlo, back to work.

A reader of Barbara Cartland's books
When I found out this movie was based on a book by Barbara Cartland, I bought it right away. I was not disappointed. I love it! I fell in love with the characters right away. The costumes and the settings was very beautifully done. This movie is now listed as one of my all-time favorites.

A terrific "bodice ripper"!!
A story for everyone - murder,danger, betrayal, and love. A young woman tries to clear the man she loves of murder. She finds in the castle he lives in is full of secrets - and more.
