| Recently returned from school in England, the scion of one feuding Scottish clan, Alexander MacArden (Larry Parks, The Jolson Story), happens upon the beautiful niece of the rival Clan Glowan, Lady Barbara (a very young Ellen Drew). Of course, they fall deeply in love, despite their families’ generations-long hatred, which only strengthens young MacArden’s resolve to bring an end to the barbaric warring of the clans. But MacArden’s charms and arguments are wasted against the savage hostility of the Glowan Clan, especially that of Robert (played by George Macready, with even more than his usual supreme evilness). This swashbuckler is a Technicolor treat with beautiful costuming — including the distinct tartans of the clans to match the Scottish accents of the cast. Directed by Joseph H. Lewis (My Name is Julia Ross, The Big Combo). |
