Description

In the days of King Henry IV, stalwart young Myles and his sister Meg have been raised as peasants, without any knowledge of who their father really was. But one day, they journey to Macworth Castle. There, Myles falls in love with Lady Anne Macworth, makes friends and enemies, and learns to be a knight.

    Torin Thatcher steals this for me as the eye-patch wearing "Sir James" the curmudgeonly Knight who is tasked by the Earl of Mackwith (Herbert Marshall) to turn country bumpkin Tony Curtis ("Myles") into a chivalric squire. Soon, though, it transpires that they are all at the heart of a plot to kill King Henry IV - a scheme led by the evil "Earl of Alban" (David Farrar). Janet Leigh is the feisty daughter of "Mackwith" and when they discover that Curtis is really a dispossessed Knight - his late father having been denounced by the evil Farrar - the battle lines are drawn. Dan O'Herlihy turns in a decent performance as the wine-soaked Prince Hal and there is plenty of swash and buckle to keep us going for an hour and a half, or so, in this colourful historical adventure.
