Le avventure e gli amori di Scaramouche (internationally released as The Loves and Times of Scaramouche) is a 1976 Italian comedy film directed by Enzo G. Castellari.
Along with his sidekick Whistle (Giancarlo Prete), Scaramouche (Michael Sarrazin) unwittingly becomes entangled in a plot to assassinate Napoleon - only to find himself the unlikely object of desire for Napoleon's lascivious new bride, the Empress Josephine (Ursula Andress).
The film was generally bad received by critics. According to New York Post's film critic Linda Gross the film is "a silly, slapstick spaghetti spoof of swashbuckling adventure movies". Maurizio Cavagnaro defined the film as an "indigestible mess".
