| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumLumbering sword and shield tale with Heston. |
| User ReviewRichard BVery under-rated swash-buckler romance, based on the play "The Lovers". Very hard to find DVD, found mine in Brazil on E-Bay |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis film has an atmosphere at odds with the action - a bit like The Wicker Man. It will haunt you afterwards, especially the music. |
| User ReviewJade SI loved this movie!!!!!!!!! Mr. Vora Made my day by making us watch this!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :D |
| User Reviewcraig mGood romantic plot, love the historical background. |
| User ReviewSulien SMost historically accurate film to come out of Hollywood. I love everything about this movie. |
| User ReviewRated NA rousing, miniature Iliad, challenging the righteousness between duty, faith, and heart. |
| User ReviewEnnaUn des (très) rares films sur le Moyen Ã,ge qui combine un très grand rà (C)alisme historique et une vrai scà (C)nario. Quand on voit ce que l'on nous montre aujourd'hui, on se dit que ce film est rà (C)ellement excellent. |
| User ReviewDavid SHard to believe this picture exists, but worth seeing. |
| User ReviewPaul C45 years is a long time for a film to age, but if one can overlook the California landscape, studio sets and somewhat cheesy costumes, the story itself is ageless. And Heston has always played the moralisticly troubled role well. |
