With also the curious THE BRIBE, starring Bob Taylor and Vincent Price. This film belongs to the costume genre in Hollywood and related to history of England - it could have been France too. The rest of Leonard's filmography was most of all bland musicals or comedies, more or less the same as another director of this time, David Butler. So, back to this one, as I said, it is bland, as was Leonard's career, but if you like costume, historical - without any accuracy nor faithful links to real history - atmosphere, especially filmed in Cinemascope ( LBX frame) this talkative and false action adventure film may be for you, to fill a sunday afternoon. Beautiful photography and I repeat, the fifties charm will enchant you. But this remains a agreeable and also forgettable B movie from Lion studio MGM. In the same kind, also with Roger Moore, you had DIANE, directed by David Miller.
