The Black Knight: Review

starstarstarstar
Given the presence of Arthur, Guinevere, Prince Hal, et al., this film must have been intended as a serious look at British history. Somewhere along the way, the movie got out of hand and it is almost as funny as START THE REVOLUTION WITHOUT ME, although surely not intended to be. Ladd is a "swordsmith" who is in love with Medina, daughter of earl Andrews. That romance will never do, however, because the caste system is far too rigid to allow a commoner to wed a lady. Ladd sets out to prove himself worthy and, with the help of Morell, strives to become a knight. He becomes the Black Knight of the title, a mysterious man who romps around the countryside jousting and foiling and thwarting the goals of Cushing and Troughton. It's all a lot of hooey, and Ladd, who could be terrific in the right part (THIS GUN FOR HIRE; SHANE; SALTY O'ROURKE), is dreadful as practically the only American in a film full of Britishers. Huge battle scenes and nonstop action supply some interest. leave a comment
