Lancaster returns to his circus-acrobat roots (with his vaudeville partner Cravat in tow) as Dardo the Arrow, the leader of a fearless band of rebels in medieval Italy. Mostly interesting for early Lancaster appearance and his obvious joy in doing his own acrobatic stunts. [More]

Reviews for The Flame and the Arrow
Early Lancaster in Errol Flynn-type Robin Hood role; great acrobatics, comedy, action.
...the actor's first big adventure frolic, and it comes off rather well. (Burt Lancaster Signature Collection)
Directed by Jacques Tourneur, this entertaining Burt Lancaster's Errol Flynn-like swashbuckling adventure was desrervedly nominated for some technical Oscars.
