Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassMustache: D'Artagnan sports a mustache, and has no match when it comes to fencing.

* LighterAndSofter: Without ever veering into parody, the film had significantly more humor than most French swashbuckler films of the time (including those based on Alexandre Dumas' ''D'Artagnan Romances'' and Jean Marais' own previous films in the genre), and much less people (if any) get skewered by swords in it. It is perhaps the most lighthearted ManInTheIronMask film overall as well.
