This item requires a region specific or multi-region DVD player and compatible TV --- Synopsis: A swashbuckling adventure/romance, which puts a colorful and ironic edge to Christian-Jacque's 1952 French cult classic. Fanfan La Tulipe is the personification of the French hero, a chronic jokester, ladies man and free spirit who refuses to surrender to a forced marriage and instead finds himself persuaded to enlist in Louis XV's regiment of Aquitaine by the enchanting Adeline, played by Penelope Cruz. The character of Fanfan La Tulipe has evolved through the times into playing a central role in the French national identity, originating from the tale of a French soldier who triumphed against the British in 1745, and later evolving into a character in numerous songs and plays who made fun of his superiors and somehow always got away with it through his wit and a quick draw. Spanish actress Penelope Cruz was made a Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters (Chevalier Dans L'Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres) in a ceremony in Paris, France
