Trivia:
None of the locations were "stock footage" since this was one of the first CinemaScope movies. The locations were shot by a second unit in Britain during the spring and summer of 1953 specifically for this film. Stand-ins doubled for the principal cast in long shots which were then matched at 20th Century-Fox studios and ranch in California during the autumn of 1953. The English stand-in for Janet Leigh's Aleta character was a teenage Shirley Eaton (later to become the James Bond Goldfinger (1964) girl). moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: As Valiant leaves his castle to meet Boltar at the beginning of the movie, he jumps from several heights to the ground. As Valiant jumps off of a small hill next to the castle, you can clearly see mats falling down from the hill after he jumps. moreQuotes:
Sir Gawain: Stop interrupting and I'll tell you what happened. After you left I went out after you. That's when I came upon the black knight.Prince Valiant: You found him?
Sir Gawain: Aye. He was searchin' the wood when I challenged him. We fought and he was good. His lance broke and I outhorsed him. I came in to finish him, when a dozen armed men came charging out at me.
Prince Valiant: They were on foot? Armed with bows?
Sir Gawain: Aye. It was only with luck I escaped through a hail of arrows.
Prince Valiant: So did I!
Sir Gawain: You what?
Prince Valiant: I was set upon by a band of archers, escaped with an arrow in my back.
Sir Gawain: Where was Sir Brack?
Prince Valiant: I don't know. I was nearly captured where he told me to wait for him. Now he says he went back to find me and found no one. Isn't that strange sir?

As a Prince Valiant collector and as editor of the Prince Valiant--an American Epic series, I naturally have mixed feelings about this movie. Parts of it are really bad, I know. Hal Foster sent many pages of corrections after he read the script. Naturally, they were ignored. On the other hand, James Mason makes a great villain, and if you kind of squint your eyes during the middle part, the rest of the movie is quite enjoyable. Rick Norwood www.io.com/~norwoodr
