The Black Shield Of Falworth

Synopsis: Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis made six films together during their marriage, though curiously Curtis, in his highly readable autobiography, claims this was the first and last. Selective memory aside, the glamorous couple cavort across Ye Merrie Olde Englande (or the Universal backlot) and save Henry IV from a fate worse than a Kenneth Branagh remake. This swashbuckler features suave Herbert Marshall, decent swordfights, early CinemaScope photography and some wonderful Brooklyn accents. Indeed, some sources claim that the infamous line when Curtis says “Yonder lies the castle of my fodda” is from this film, though others say it's from The Prince Who Was a Thief. However, Curtis in his autobiography claims it's from The Son of Ali Baba.
