Just got finished watching Robert Taylor in "Ivanhoe." Elizabeth Taylor also stars in the movie. I have an audio book of Ivanhoe unabridged by Sir Walter Scott that I am going to listen to next. It is fun to listen to his prose.

I read the beook several years ago as part of my "Reading stuff, I really should have read long ago..." project. The book is wonderful, and my favorite movie version of it was one that aired in the 80's as a made for TV movie. If you haven't seen it, do so as it as many many famous actors like John Rhys Davies, and Sam Neil in it!

I read the book when young and loved it. Around the same time I read Robert Louis Stevenson's The Black Arrow and enjoyed that too.

Thanks for letting me know about the '80s made for TV version. I found clips of it on Youtube. Also came across Roger Moore playing Ivanhoe for a 50s British TV series.

I think I read the Black Arrow but no recollection. One of those books I would like to read again but probably no time. I was reading on Wiki that it takes place during The War of the Roses. I did read "Men of Iron" when I was young, I hadn't realized at the time that it also took place during the War of the Roses.
Just watched a good part of "Knights of the Round Table" another Robert Taylor movie made after the success of Ivanhoe. Supposedly these movies were done at a MGM studio in England but I swear the landscapes look like California.
