Take One, Action! takes you behind-the-scenes of swordplay in film - written by professional swordsman and film director Andy Wilkinson whose swordplay has appeared in over seventy-three films, including many Hollywood blockbusters.

Part memoir, part film and swordplay manual, this is a must-read for all aspiring actors, swordsmen, fight choreographers and film directors. It will also appeal to theatre, film and fencing students, entertainment historians and those who thirst for an insight into the world of swordsmen and the art of making movies.

It also incorporates intriguing nuggets of information from both swordplay and film worlds, such as: - Why do spiral staircases rise clockwise? - Which Hollywood star was a British Army fencing champion? - Where did the term slapstick originate?

With advice, anecdotes, a valuable guide to fencing terminology and illustrated throughout with photos, this is an unusual guide to a greatly misunderstood art.
