Ivanhoe Return to the world of noble knights and blushing maidens in this vivid adaptation of the Sir Walter Scott classic, Ivanhoe. Set against the backdrop of 12-th century England, the story follows one brave man's attempt to restore Richard The Lion-Hearted to the throne stolen by his evil brother, Prince John. But with all its rousing feats of derring-do, it is also a tender tale of love. Robert Taylor stars as the intrepid knight-errant who is charmed by not one fair lady, but two: the meltingly dark-eyed Rebecca (Elizabeth Taylor) and the stately Saxon princess, Rowena (Joan Fontaine). In chilling contrast to this romantic feast, there is George Sanders as the malevolent De Bois-Guilbert, Ivanhoe's deadly enemy and constant threat. Ivanhoe is "a rich, dramatic picture" raved the Saturday Review. "The action is full scale and vigorous, presented with obvious relish," and it boasts some of the most spectacular fighting sequences ever filmed. 107 minutes (color) 1952 |
