“Before me kneels a nation divided – rise as one man, and that one, for England!”

Elizabeth Taylor and Robert Taylor in IVANHOE (1952) will be available on Blu-ray December 12th from Warner Archive

M-G-M spared no expense and brought their top box-office talent to film this opulent Technicolor® epic to England to film this box-office smash which starred not one, but two Taylors. Related only as studio royalty, long-time leading man Robert Taylor played opposite the incomparable Elizabeth Taylor in this action-packed adaptation of Sir Walter Scott’s legendary novel.

1194. King Richard the Lion Hearted is being held for ransom by the King of Austria, and his evil brother, John, conspires to take the throne. But while Robin of Locksley fights as Robin Hood, another man, Ivanhoe (Taylor), risks everything for his king–and for the honor of Rebecca (Taylor), the woman he loves. Gallantry and costumed pageantry combine in this crowd-pleasing nominee for 3 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture. Robert Taylor plays the title role, and Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Fontaine also star in a rousing adaption of Sir Walter Scott’s novel. The film’s jousting tournament is a galloping display of steeds and stouthearted men, with all of this unforgettable story underscored by the unforgettable music of Miklos Rosza.
