The Gallant Blade is a 1948 American Cinecolor adventure film directed by Henry Levin and starring Larry Parks.

A peasant becomes the hero of France in the 17th century after the Thirty Years' War.

[1] Columbia announced in 1945 they would make The Gallant Blade based on a short story by Alexander Dumas.

He had just made a swashbuckler for Columbia, The Swordsman, then initiated legal proceedings against the studio in July to get out of this contract with them.

Parks had refused payment since then; he agreed to be paid for The Gallant Blade on the proviso it did not affect his legal actions.
