Ivanhoe 1952

Staring: Robert Taylor

Derring-do amonk the knights of medieval England.

Oscar nominated in its day, this was certainly a lavish, colourful production. The Saxons/Norman plot was a little confusing and the text over emphasised with every sentence sounding as if it was an Earth changing statement. Some of the special effects were dated and rather obvious but there were some good scenes. The jousting and siege of the fort was all good 'Boys own' stuff. Dated but harmless. 5/10
