Ivanhoe (1952)
Taylor and Taylor! I couldn’t resist. Ivanhoe is a Technicolor, Camelot splendor starring the pretty Elizabeth Taylor, and the equally pretty Robert Taylor. Although it’s supposed to be a dramatic epic, I couldn’t stop laughing when I watched it. I was raised on The Court Jester, and Ivanhoe seemed like prime material for Danny Kaye to spoof. The sets and costumes seemed like they were shared by both films, and even the plots are similar! Both heroes are unhappy with the kingdom and try to return the rightful owner to the throne, hoping a forest crusader will help them in their cause.
See why I kept laughing? Well, if you haven’t seen The Court Jester, or if you’re able to take Ivanhoe seriously, you might like it. Robin Hood movie are usually entertaining, and this one has Elizabeth Taylor to add to the scenery, so you could do a lot worse. She made a lot of movies in the 50s, though, and quite a few of them were period pieces, so you might want to catch Raintree County instead.
