It's amazong how in films like this people are able to totally conceal thier identity, slip past gaurds unnoticed and get out of any situation just by donning a cloak.
Underrated movie. They don't make classics like these anymore.
I just realized. That abandoned looking castle with the moat where Katie is held, must be the same castle in Disney's Sword In the Stone. Where Merlin turned Arthur into a fish and they get chased by a pike. Arthur makes a reference about playing there as a boy with Merlin.
@FortitudeOfHeaven I agree there is something about the Older movies. In my opinion some of the best Medieval dramas ever made were Cadfael and a 1997 bbc adaptation of Ivanhoe, both from the 90s. More recent Medieval films dramas are usually too Poltically Correct and always Impose modern standards on the past which I hate.
@medievalgirl002 Having said that there are some notable exceptions, like Lord of the Rings, which was written by a Medievalist. I love the way that is just presents a story based on ancient Legends against a setting that is based on real Medeval cultures and civilisations, and shows them as they were.
The jousting is so real and authentic! Have any of you heard of a place called "Medieval Times"? It's a real place where you get a medieval dinner and you get to watch knights joust?
@rmsprowler He is not qualified to marry her if I remember correctly. They discuss this earlier in the movie. I could be wrong. Plus I think Belasco (or is it Balasco) had a part in making sure that Kane and Sarah couldn't marry somehow convincing King Arthur it wasn't in the kingdom's best interests. Or Kane is one of those guys who is "I'm not worthy!" until it's too late. This is all guessing. I don't think he's actual knight though just a teacher of combat. Again I could be wrong.
@rmsprowler it's not a flaw, it's historically accurate. In medieval times women had no choice. It was usually by tournament and/or head male of the household who decided who one would marry. Love had nothigng to do with it.
@MissWoodsCommaElle Sad but true, all women were at the mercy of their Fathers, and then their Husbands, they were generally used to acquire wealth and power for their families and had no choice whatsoever. Thankgod we live in the 21st century.
@MissWoodsCommaElle Actually that's not strictly true, common/peasant women often had more choice about who they could marry then nobles. There were cases of Love matches even among the aristocracy, and sometimes even people in arranged marriages ended up falling in love. Also there sometimes seems to have been the idea that if a noblewoman married once for Poltical reasons, she was free to choose her next husband. I know no cases of a touranment being used to decide who people would marry.

Man the critic was so harsh on this movie. I still find it great. Besides it's not suppose to be the best movie in the world.

Random question: If Sarah rides sidesaddle, why does Katie ride like a man?
