An entertaining adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's novel, with Robert Taylor in the title role, as a Scotsman in the days of Louis XI, traveling to France to check out the prospective young bride for his elderly uncle, (Isabelle, Countess of Macroy, played by kay Kendall) only to fall for her himself.
Robert Taylor is a favorite of mine and does a great job here. I really can't say the same for Kay Kendall (maybe because she's not one of my favorites), who seems a poor imitation of Deborah Kerr.
There's a lot of action and adventure, including an exciting (and most original) duel in a bell tower that's caught fire. A good movie for those just hanging around the house days.
