Torin Thatcher steals this for me as the eye-patch wearing "Sir James" the curmudgeonly Knight who is tasked by the Earl of Mackwith (Herbert Marshall) to turn country bumpkin Tony Curtis ("Myles") into a chivalric squire. Soon, though, it transpires that they are all at the heart of a plot to kill King Henry IV - a scheme led by the evil "Earl of Alban" (David Farrar). Janet Leigh is the feisty daughter of "Mackwith" and when they discover that Curtis is really a dispossessed Knight - his late father having been denounced by the evil Farrar - the battle lines are drawn. Dan O'Herlihy turns in a decent performance as the wine-soaked Prince Hal and there is plenty of swash and buckle to keep us going for an hour and a half, or so, in this colourful historical adventure.
