The Last Duel is a punchy, precise film that gets under the skin of one of England's lesser-known historic events: the last fatal pistol duel on English soil. In the Autumn of 1852, six Frenchmen met near Windsor Castle to resolve an argument with an illegal duel. Frederick Cournet, a well known French politician, was shot in the gun fight and died later that day from his wounds.
Only one man went on record to speak of this tragic event, did he get his facts right or is his version of the story a cunning cover up?
