Ivanhoe New Arrival

Gallantry and costumed pageantry combine in this crowd-pleasing nominee for 3 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Robert Taylor plays the title role, and Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Fontaine also star in a rousing adaptation of Sir Walter Scott’s novel. The film’s jousting tournament is a galloping display of steeds and stouthearted men. Most spectacular of all is the siege of Torquilstone Castle, a wave-after-wave combat of arrows, fire, boulders, battering rams and blades. To the battlements!
