Quentin Durward.

Alles ist liebevoll und farbenprächtig in Szene gesetzt; dazu kommt die schwungvoll-romantische Musik des mir bislang ganz unbekannten Bronislau Kaper.

While well received at home, the sensation it created in Paris was comparable to that caused by the appearance of Waverley in Edinburgh and Ivanhoe in London.

Richard Thorpe managed a few amusing moments in "The Adventures of Quentin Durward" which has a trapped Kay Kendall, whose only hard way to escape was to get rid from the evil black villain William De La Marck (Ducan Lamont).Looking for some great streaming picks?

und dem Herzog von Burgund verwickelt wird, nimmt sich unter den gewieften Intriganten der Fürstenhöfe recht naiv und und ein wenig anachronistisch aus, behält aber den Kopf oben und gewinnt am Ende natürlich die allseits begehrte Gräfin Isabella.

I must check out availability of "Ivanhoe" and "Knights of the Round Table". Quentin Durward cares about his uncle and feels obligated to his uncle's wishes.

Roberts Taylor and Morley carry the film, along with Kay Kendall as the romantic interest. The model takes into account factors including the age of a rating, whether the ratings are from verified purchasers, and factors that establish reviewer trustworthiness.Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Quentin Durward: adaptation et reduction a l'usage de la jeunesse: les conteurs etrangers / de Walter Scott; par A.-J. A truly splendid Scope transfer, lovely colour and sound and a fair price (just). Reviews ... SHOW ALL. A teenage American girl while visiting her father, is thrown into London society during the "Debutante Season". Yes I do believe this is under rated & is every bit as good as "Ivanhoe" & "Knights of the Round Table" in its own way.

A young orphan is sent to the village of Moonfleet, in Dorset, England to stay with his mother's former lover, who has the facade of a gentleman but is a leader of a gang of swashbuckling bootleggers. Robert Taylor als romantischer Held mit dem nötigen Quentchen Selbstironie und Kay Kendell als Isabella sind ein wunderschönes Paar, und rundherum tummeln sich exzellente Charakterdarsteller, von denen Robert Morley als König Ludwig den dankbarsten Part hat.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2011 I don't hesitate in rating this movie with 5 star's because I believe it deserves all 5 star's!!! In 1465 Quentin Durwood travels to France to meet Isabelle, Countess of Marcroy, on behalf of his elderly Scottish uncle whom, for political reasons, the Duke of Burgundy intends she marry. Fifteenth-century France, the French Revolution, and contemporary Britain all come together in this sharp-eyed novel of political expediency and intrigue. I am a huge fan of all movies with sword's I enjoy the fantasy aspect of the Sword & Sorcery genre & love the Historic period pieces especially the epic's from the 50's & 60's!!! Quentin Durward was published in June, 1823, and was Scott's first venture on foreign ground.

And just because it might not have as many action scenes has Robert Taylor's other two Epic's please don't think it lacks action, there's plenty of clashing sword's and one of the most unique blade battles in the belfry you may ever see!!!

Brilliant film. Thank you. Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations
