Twelfth-century Lombardy lies under the iron heel of German overlord Count Ulrich 'The Hawk', but in the mountains, guerillas yet resist. Five years before our story, Ulrich stole away the pretty wife of young archer Dardo who, cynical rather than embittered, still has little interest in joining the rebels. But this changes when his son, too, is taken from him. The rest is lighthearted swashbuckling, plus romantic interludes with lovely hostage Anne.... (Full plot summary below)

| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol ClingLancaster swashbuckles with irresistible energy ... |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyTourneur, working with a script by Waldo Salt, turns the medieval action-adventure tale into a symbol of the French Resistance in the Second World War and locates its roots in class warfare. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumEarly Lancaster in Errol Flynn-type Robin Hood role; great acrobatics, comedy, action. |
| User ReviewNadia VAaaahhhh ... le beau Burt Lancaster ! Et avec Nick Cravat, quels acrobates .... :-D |
| User ReviewJon TBurt was great and really showed his acrobatic skills. Virginia was beautiful and elegant and really proved a strong female lead. |

| User ReviewJosè MPelicula de aventuras Naif y de buenas intenciones. |
| User ReviewOrlok WLancaster finds himself in medieval Italy as Dardo, an acrobatic Robin Hood of sorts, who loses his son back to his mother, who left Dardo for the evil leader who is angry with the people. Dardo soon finds himself in trouble, causing all sorts of meyhem with Piccolo (Nick Cravat), falling in love with Anne - who at one time he has in a chain collar (played by Virginia Mayo), but never losing focus on regaining his son. Fun, but never as much fun as it should be. Fine acrobatic scenes highlight this, but there are many far superior swashbucklers out there. |
| User ReviewPedro RI am a fan of the swashbuckling genre, so i couldn´t miss this. This movie owns a lot to the adventures of robin hood, but still has something to call is own. The plot is very left-wing, almost communist(the writer of this movie was later blacklisted). This flick has good acrobatics(lancaster on the top of his acrobatic skills), but depiste lancaster being one of my favorite actors i didn´t like his performance very much, he was smiling all the time, i tought that sometimes the humor was a litlle bit out of place. But still this is a good entertaining piece. |
