The Spanish Sword (1962)


United Artists
Directed by Ernest Morris
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Medieval soap opera has Ronald Howard as a knight rooting out a rebellion lead by the brute Nigel Green. His fiance June Thorburn follows him to the rural town where she spends far too much screen time trying to convince him to give up. Action scenes are poorly staged, with many obvious fake sword strikes under the armpit of opponents. Even the final fight between Howard and Green is slow and anticlimactic.
