The movie, Carlos Trece, broke all existing box-office records during its theatrical run in 1953. The 15-minute sword fight, a duel to the end, between Reyes and Monteiro took the production crew two weeks of rigorous practice and training and one week to shoot.

Simon,
Omigod, this is the movie I saw at Zest Theater, a 3rd-Run movie house, on R. Hidalgo in Quiapo and indeed that sword fight was unforgettable, the longest I'd ever seen. I was a boy then, and I could only afford to watch movies in 3rd-run theaters, which if I remember right, was only 25 centavos. Sayang walang clip.
