Review of The Flame and the Arrow (1950) by Orlok W — 02 Oct 2011
Lancaster 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.
