SICKS6SIX S @sicks6six 01/09/2023 It's not great and some of the acting is comical. It's not supposed to be funny. Is it ? White English men with a BBC accent trying to be Arab. Chinese. Nomads. You need to ask why. There must have been huge shortages of ethnic actors with equity cards. Morocco looks like he Gobi desert and Warwick Castle looks like a castle. No flimsy cheap scenery. Shot on glorious halucnicolour with great sound. No highs and lows. It's not politically correct for today but things were very different in 1950s Britain. Woman served men and were grateful of the chance to do so. See more Mike W @MikeW269 11/05/2021 Very poor. Black Rose must have been an embarrassment for Tyrone Power and Orson Wells. I highly recommend persons not waste their time with this. See more 06/23/2020 I loved this movie when I was a child. It's a sweeping historical saga that goes from England a few decades after the Norman conquest to thousands of miles in the other direction all the way to China. It's more character driven than some of the other swashbuckling films of the time. The Black Rose was made after Power served in the marines at Iowa Jima. He was a pilot who ferried out the wounded. The Black Rose reflects a more realistic view of violence and adventure without being gory. It's also a little more character driven than earlier films. But it's still a worthwhile adventure. It's a nice pass of time on a rainy afternoon. See more 03/06/2014 A good old film. To be seen in order to realize how good was the cinema before all this modern CGI technology! See more 04/26/2013 Tyrone Power & Orson Welles In Medieval Old-time Action Adventure--High Adventure And Romance!! See more 04/18/2013 Fell in love with this film as a youngster seeing it on TV. Jack Hawkins' performance is wonderful as is Welles'. IMHO, this film has everything: Romance, action, adventure, exotic locations, a beautiful leading lady, intrigue, top-notch sets, costumes and photography - plus a cast of thousands. The historical aspect (for me) cinches the deal. Made so long ago that Orson Welles is actually sexy, "The Black Rose" is on my top-10 films list. See more Read all reviews
