    Louis the Eleventh in Chambord!

    For a French viewer,it is always much fun to see how Hollywood treats our history.For sure,Louis the Eleventh would be amazed if he saw the Château de Chambord in his kingdom whereas this castle (400 chimneys)was built more than thirty years after his death.But on the other hand his castle of Plessis -Lès-Tours (Lès doesn't mean 'the' but "next to" ) was his favorite residence:it's here that he kept his Fillettes (=girlies) where he imprisoned his enemies.Unfortunately these cages do not appear in the movie.

    However,Hollywood shows the historical figures as French conventions do in cinema:Robert Morley's shrewd smart king and Charles Le Téméraire (Charles the Bold)are depicted in the same way as in "Le Miracle Des Loups" a French classic swashbuckler which was filmed twice ,the first version by Raymond Bernard in the silent age.

    "Quentin Durward" is entertaining stuff,suitable for the whole family but it is not as exciting as "Knights of the Round Table "-which featured a more beautiful leading lady in the shape of Ava Gardner- or mainly "the prisoner of Zenda" ,my favorite Thorpe movie.Besides,the part of the villain is too underwritten (remember James Mason in "Zenda").Best moment:the duel among the bells .
    6hitchcockthelegend

    I have perhaps sworn too many oaths in my time. My life grows complicated.

    The Adventures of Quentin Durward is directed by Richard Thorpe and adapted to screenplay by Robert Ardrey and George Froeschel from the Walter Scott novel. It stars Robert Taylor, Kay Kendall, Robert Morley, George Cole and Alec Clunes.Music is by Bronislau Kaper and Eastman cinematography by Christopher Challis.

    "Our story begins in Scotland in 1465~~when knighthood was a drooping blossom~~but the Scot, as usual, was poor in naught but cash."

    So it begins, the tale of Quentin Durward (Taylor), who travels to France to find out if the Countess of Marcroy (Kendall) will make for a suitable bride for his aging uncle. Once there, though, Durward gets wrapped up in the political shenanigans of King Louis XI (Morley) and the Duke of Burgundy (Clunes). More pressing, mind, is that the Countess and Durward are attracted to each other.

    The third part of an unofficial swashbuckling trilogy made by Richard Thorpe and Robert Taylor, Quentin Durward comes out after Ivanhoe (1952) & Knights of the Round Table (1953). Out of MGM's British studio at Elstree, film is delightful in period flavours and potent as a costume romance, but sadly lacking in vigorous wonders. The weakest of the three Thorpe/Taylor swashers, picture often has tongue planted firmly in cheek as it unfolds its story amongst some marvellous French and English locales. Cast are good value, especially the likes of Morley & Clunes, but Taylor at 44 is a bit long in the tooth to be entirely convincing in the derring-do department.

    Good honest fun in the main, if a little too plodding in patches, but a climatic bell tower duel played out on swinging ropes is alone worth viewing the film for. 6/10

    Cinematic version based on Walter Scott's epic tale about taking on between Louis XI of France and Charles of Burgundy

    1955 classic movie directed by Richard Thorpe with a good cast and mighty spectacle about Medieval knights and the famed romance in color magnificence . Spectacular and above average adaptation derived from Sir Walter Scott classic novel. This MGM Cinemascope production from the company and producers (Pandro S Berman) that gave you Quo Vadis, Ivanhoe, among others and only this Production Company could bring it so magnificently to the screen. The classic story of romantic adventure come to life enriched in Technicolor and with such great stars as Robert Taylor, Robert Morley, Duncan Lamont and Kay Kendall. Nice family fare with romance and great action scenes. Film which proved to be notable success in this lively rendition about chivalry and knighthood in century XV, France. Knights battle each other and woo maidens on this chivalrous epic romance. This splendid version , in superb Technicolor, of Sir Walter Scott's classic epic tale starts in 15th century, 1465 , when a man of honour , Knight Quentin Duward , a suitable noble wielding a sword and courage is assigned by his uncle to travel to France to meet Isabelle (Kay Kendall) and for political reasons to marry her. But Charles (Clunes) the Duke of Burgund has other plans and she is utilized as pawn in a deadly game . Meanwhile the young countess renounces the marriage proposition and flees, when is suddenly attached by the De La Marck's devious underlings , being saved by Duward . In order to regain his freedom , he protects her but Durward finds they're being double-crossed by the King Louis XI who has a likable confidant , a barber named Oliver (Wilfrid Hyde White). But Quentin will stop at nothing to assume his mission. Quentin join forces with Hayraddin (George Cole) against William De La Marck (Duncan Lamont)-the Beast of Ardenas- and his hoodlums who attack the stronghold.

    Sir Walter Scott's story of romance and chivalry in Medieval France is faithfully brought to life in this awesome film in which Robert Taylor stars as Quentin Durward who fights the evil William De La Marck and his hoodlums in an attempt to restore Louis XI to the throne facing Charles the Reckless . This enjoyable film displays romance, chivalry, knighthood , daring adventures and lots of action with spectacular castle attack and overwhelming final that includes a breathtaking confrontation in a bell tower at its climax. The fighting , brawls , duels and other action sequences with a plethora of sword-fights involving maces, axes and lances are magnificently handled. The authentic fight images are among the most spectacular ever shot, so the ending duel between the dastardly William De La Marck excellently played by Duncan Lamont and Quentin is impressive. This one proved notable hit as well as the former adventure movies starred by Robert Taylor. This is an overwhelming tale with adventures, villainy,romance and heroism in the grandeur of Cinemascope although in television set lost splendor. Luscious costumes and gowns specially suited for Kay Kendall . The film packs a glamorous and luminous cinematography by Christopher Challis and evocative musical score by Bronislou Kaper . This is the third on a magnificent trilogy of movies realized by M. G. M. In Great Britain with Robert Taylor , produced by Pandro S Berman and directed by Richard Thorpe , the other were : ¨Ivanhoe and Kights of the Round Table¨. The picture is excellently handled by Thorpe, an expert on adventure movie as proved in ¨All the brothers were valiant, Prisoner of Zenda, The prodigal and many others ¨. The picture will appeal to aficionados with chivalric ideals and historic movies fans.

    Magnificent Obsession

    During the early 1950's Hollywood had a magnificent obsession with what they called historical films. ' Ivanhoe ' arguably started them, and they were set in a mythical ' Middle Ages ' which must have helped many children of that era with their history lessons. ' Quentin Durward ' appeared reasonably late in this cycle, and Robert Taylor who had appeared in a few of them was paired with Kay Kendall, and as far as I could see there was little chemistry between them. In my opinion Kay Kendall with her great sense of humour steals the film, and with her wonderful voice shows how absurd this whole genre is. The story begins in Scotland with Taylor being sent to a troubled France to get a bride for his very old uncle, and to keep the story going he lands himself in a mess of politics that must have baffled many who saw the film. No spoilers except to say that there is a unique fighting scene where two men have a sword fight hanging from bell ropes in a burning castle. It is well worth waiting for because it is a fantastically good bit of film making. I love these films because of their delusional freedom to play fast and loose with historical fantasies. ' Quentin Durward' is not in my opinion the best, but it is highly enjoyable and Kay Kendall is worth seeing in any film.

    Don't expect another "Ivanhoe".

    One of the best sword and pageantry epics of the 1950s is MGM's "Ivanhoe". It's exciting, well acted and simply fun. However, despite "Quentin Durward" also starring Robert Taylor in yet another Sir Walter Scott novel, the experience is not nearly as satisfying. In fact, while the film isn't bad, it is a bit long and tedious at times.

    When the story begins in the late 15th century, Quentin's elderly uncle is planning on marrying. While he is far from a great catch when you see him, he is a minor nobleman whose title would make a decent match back in the day. But before this old goat marries, he wants Quentin to leave their beloved Scotland and go to see the woman in France. He wants to be assured she's beautiful AND rich! Unfortunately, she's both....and Durward himself is smitten with her. There's a lot more to the film, involving Quentin going into the service of the very duplicitous King Louis...but essentially all this is subserviant to the romance.

    The film looks good and was filmed on location. The castles are real and the costumes very nice. But the story itself and dialog...sluggish and hard to love. I found myself feeling tired throughout the film...and that normally means the film is a bit of a bore.

    By the way, the portrayal of the Gypsies/Romani in this film is far from being politically correct. Deal with it or just skip the film.

    • Anecdotes
      The film bears only a passing resemblance to Scott's 1823 novel, and seems to have borrowed much more from the 12th century legend of Tristan and Isolde.
    • Gaffes
      The seat on which King Louis XI (Robert Morley) sits in his throne room is not a Gothic throne in 14th Century style, it's a gilt chair in the Rococo style of the late 17th/early 18th Century.
