      At the very end as Rebecca leaves the castle, we see the sea in the background. But York is inland.
    • Quotes

      Friar Tuck: Make room, make room for your godly father and his prisoner. I am like an eagle, with it's prey in it's clutches. A victim to my sword.

      Isaac of York: For the love of God would someone take me away from this madman.

      Robin Hood: Where did you find him?

      Friar Tuck: I was looking for a draft of noble Norman wine, when down in the cellar I found this infidel. I was going to beat his brains out but I took pity upon his gray hair and converted him then and there.

      Isaac of York: That's a lie, I'm not converted, he lies.

      Friar Tuck: You call me a liar, then I must teach you better manners.

      [about to punch Isaac of York]

      King Richard: [Stops Friar Tuck] Hold! Strike me, Friar, if you dare. I'll stand by your blow if you'll stand by mind.

      Friar Tuck: Right. Then down you go.

      [Punches King Richard who barely moves]

      King Richard: Now, my turn

      [Punches Friar Tuck who falls to the ground]

      Friar Tuck: I think you broke my jaw.

      King Richard: I think not, you can still speak. Come, let's put an end to this nonsense.

      [Helps Friar Tuck up]

      Isaac of York: I am Isaac of York. Has anyone seen my daughter Rebecca?

      Robin Hood: We saw her. Carried off by Brian Guilbert when the castle fell.

      Isaac of York: Is done dead. Where was she taken?

      Robin Hood: If I had to guess, I would say north to Templestone where the knights of the Templar gather.

      Isaac of York: I must leave at once, I must pay the ransom. Please, who would guide me, I will pay money to anyone who would guide me.

      Friar Tuck: Oh dear, sweet, gentle Jew... I apologize if we had harsh words before. I would be happy to guide you to Templestone for a small fee. 200 stekas.

      Isaac of York: 200 stekas.

      Friar Tuck: We shall leave in the morning.

      Isaac of York: We shall leave at once.

      Friar Tuck: We leave at once.

    Ivanhoe and Bois Guilbert duke it out again
    Although the romance and derring do of medieval chivalry is best expressed in the famous MGM big screen version of Ivanhoe that starred Robert Taylor, this made for British TV Ivanhoe stays far more accurately to what Sir Walter Scott wrote. There are even characters that the MGM film eliminated from the story that are present here.

    Anthony Andrews plays the hero Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe in this version and he's a knight who takes his vows quite seriously. That means help and aid to the weak and oppressed and Jews in medieval England were among the most oppressed. Although his heart is set on the Saxon princess Rowena played by Lysette Anthony, he gets a stirring for the medieval Jewish princess Rebecca as played here by Olivia Hussey.

    But the one who's really crushing out on her big time is Sam Neill playing Brian Bois Guilbert a knight of the Templar order and the Templars are trying to topple Richard the Lion Heart from the throne and put Prince John on it. Sad for the years of his reign for the people of England they got a King John after the action of this film is over. As a Norman he and Andrews just don't like each other on general principles. Put in the romantic angle and even those who never read the book know that Andrews and Neill will be duking it out with lance and spear at the climax.

    The Robert Taylor classic never covered the Templars and hence the anti-Semitism was muted. Here it bursts forth in full flower and the Templars who pronounce Hussey a witch are sure no knight who takes any Christian vows will champion an infidel.

    By dint of his star power James Mason who plays Rebecca's father Isaac of York gets top billing. Mason is effective and the part is built up somewhat.

    I do love Robert Taylor's Ivanhoe, one of my favorite of his films. But this version is one good Cliff's Notes version of the story.
