United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Its the Cavaliers vs. the Copperheads in this costume drama set during the 17th-century British Civil War. Our sympathies are supposed to be with Oliver Cromwell's underground troops--and they are, since the arrogant Cromwell isn't around to comprise his followers' heroism. Lionel Jeffries, loyal to Cromwell, is confounded by his daughter June Thorburn's fidelity to the Throne. Oliver Reed co-stars as Jeffries' right-hand man and June's boyfriend. Crimson Blade does little to clarify the complex issues attending the war, but it delivers the goods in the action department. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: BAFTA Awards, ...The Scarlet Blade ( The Crimson Blade )

Another long desired Hammer film for home video - finally replacing traded tv-recorded fan VHS tapes - and it is wonderfully restored - ratio and colors look fantastic. It includes the US-title credits sequence as an extra. This is a not well known Hammer historical drama, and you'll be pleasantly surprised how well it stacks up to THE PIRATES OF BLOOD RIVER or A CHALLENGE FOR ROBIN HOOD. Like the recent issue of BRIGAND OF KANDAHAR, no trailer is included - a big mistake. Oh, well.

This 1964 Hammer production stars Lionel Jeffries, as Colonel Judd, and Oliver Reed, as Captain Sylvester.
They play two of Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads during the English Civil War. Sylvester wants the Colonel's royalist daughter, Claire (June Thorburn), so he risks his neck to help her and her royalist pals, who include Jack Hedley's,as the Scarlet Blade.
Unfortunately, after a couple of hours in his company, Claire falls helplessly in love with the Blade.
Sylvester's upset to say the least.
Oliver Reed's charisma here is undeniable.
