Summary
Stand and pledge loyalty or prepare to lie cold beneath your shields. Chivalrous knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe is determined to restore Richard the Lion-Hearted to England's throne. Gallantry and costumed pageantry combine in this crowd-pleasing nominee for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Robert Taylor plays the title role, and Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Fontaine also star in a rousing adaption of Sir Walter Scott's novel. The film's jousting tournament is a galloping display of steeds and stouthearted men. The most spectacular of all is the siege of Torquilstone Castle, a wave-after-wave onslaught of arrows, fire, boulders, battering rams, and blades. To the battlements!
