The Black Shield Of Falworth

[Machine Translation] The first film in Universal's memorable Cinemascope! Romance and overwhelming spectacle on the huge screen! Set in 15th century England, the film depicts a young knight's tumultuous upbringing. Director Rudolph Mate has skillfully directed the subject matter for CinemaScope. Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh co-star for the second time. --In the early 15th century, King Henry IV of England is old and in failing health, and the country is ruled by a parliament headed by the Earl of Orban (David Farrar). However, Orban, the king's trusted advisor, is in fact a renegade vassal who has long been plotting against the throne, and has secretly conspired against the righteous men who oppose him and against the crown prince, who is a drunkard and an incompetent. At the same time, Miles ( Tony Curtis ) and Meg ( Barbara Rush ), a brother and sister, are living in the house of Dickon, an old farmer in the village of Chrisvydale. When Lord Forwoth, whom Dickon served, was accused of being a rebel for Orban and the whole family was executed, he secretly took in the younger siblings and raised them. After a dispute with Orban's party, who had come to hunt near the village, Miles left the village with Meg and went to serve his late father's best friend, Lord McEwarth's (Herbert Marshall) castle. There, Miles falls in love with Lord McWorth's only daughter, Anne ( Janet Leigh ). An 8-page booklet is included.
