Siege of the Saxons (1963)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Nathan Juran
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

You couldn't ask for better Saturday afternoon matinee fare than this fun medieval adventure featuring the familiar Arthurian characters and Robin hood. King Arthur not only is old and dying but also dealing with a Saxon invasion and a traitor in his midst. His daughter Katherine the Great is in line to the throne, but must stay alive to get it. Robin Hood kidnaps her then disguises her as a peasant boy, and together search for Merlin to help her claim the throne. Another winner from the producer/director team of Charles Schneer and Nathan Juran.
