The Black Shield of
Falworth (1954)
Directed by Rudolph
Mate this film based on the novel “Men of Iron” stars Tony
Curtis, Janet Leigh and Barbara Rush. A young man and his sister
discover they are not peasants and sent to live with a lord against
the back drop of a conspiracy against Henry IV of England.
This is a pretty
simple swashbuckler film that is high predictable and contains a lot
of genre cliches. It seems the plot strays a fair amount from it's
source material but neither version is a great work of entertainment.
The film is fairly entertaining but the film is paper thin when it
comes to depth and unremarkable in execution.
2/5
