Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Alan Ladd once more journeyed to England to make a film for Columbia's British counterpart (Warwick Studios), and the result was the lively swashbuckler The Black Knight. Ladd plays John, a young swordmaker who aspires to join the Knights of the Round Table. Unfortunately, he is falsely accused of cowardice and banished from his community. Thanks to the secret tutelage of one of Arthur's knights, John is able to train himself in the art of combat, and soon reemerges as the vengeance-seeking Black Knight. In this guise, he is able to bring a group of traitors to justice, rout a band of invading Saracens, and rescue his lady love Linet (Patricia Medina) from certain doom. Anthony Bushell, who was soon to completely forsake acting in favor of producing and directing, costars as King Arthur, while the villains of the piece are essayed by Peter Cushing and future Dr. Who Patrick Troughton. ...The Black Knight

1.0 out of 5 stars Pantotime! 21 Jan 2013
Format:DVD
There's only one good way to come out of this one: pretend you've been to a pantomime! The baddies only just stop short of twirling their moustaches as they huddle together to discuss their nefarious plots. They do do the evil laugh though...and the cloak sweep. While the love interest is tied up to meet her doom she delivers the goggle eyes and the panto language wrist twisting which signals that she would prefer to be released from her bonds. Meanwhile the hero dashes about at an enhanced frame rate first this way and then that way, oh and then this this way again, in his bizarre short-sleeved armour. Neither does the script stand up to serious scrutiny - as for example when our hero asks for a horse to enable him to go forth on his quest when, in fact, he's just arrived on one! The lines tendeth oft to be deliveredeth in ye olde merrie England speak. I won't even bother going into the fact that the story is based around King Arthur's court while everyone is dressed in mediaeval costume. The baddies' grand idea to attack Camelot amounts to nothing more than "You start on this side and we'll start on the other side. When we say go, and if you're ready, we'll both CHARGE!!!" The details of this great battle plan are drawn out on a cartoon map - just so everyone gets it. And when they execute this devilishly clever scheme they do it on horse and on foot. Not a siege engine or ladder in sight. I'm still not certain whether this was due to a lack of understanding about siege warfare or inadequacy in the budget. This is great fun as long as you remember you might be watching the worst film in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good old chivalrous movie 31 Aug 2011

I had tried to view this movie on Netflix. Netfix didnt carry it. The movie was of the knight of old era in the 50's..comparable to The Black shield of Falworth.

1.0 out of 5 stars A ridiculous movie. 25 Jun 2012
By Bryan - Published on Amazon.com
The only impressive thing about this film is the castles, and they're far too impressive to be associated with a schlock-fest like this. There are too many nonsensical and inane things in this movie to list, but a pudgy 41 year old Alan Ladd playing the supposedly young Black Knight who runs around in clownish short sleeved armor -which isn't black, but white and gold- is one good example. The production values, however, are topnotch, in fact, far too good for this fiasco of a film. Don't waste your brain cells on this one.
