    I love this, and the fact it came out the year I was born…fantastic. How I love older movies, NO CGI, or AI intelligence to foul up the story, just pure awesome scenery and great action without all the distractions. Today’s films seems to lack the reality of what makes a film great, they rely too much on the artificial world instead of focusing on what makes films spectacular. This film 🎥 is underrated and has a good story, writers, actors/actresses, great action and directors….great sword fights, my type of movie, a good wholesome movie without all the foul language and sexual overtones which seems to dominate today’s movies, and which also detracts from the story and does NOTHING to enhance it at all. Thank you, hoping to find more like it…..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸🥰

      Heh, when I saw all the horse-riding scenes, especially by the lake under the trees, I thought it looked just like a couple of scenes from The Kissing Bandit. Looks like some production locations were within twenty miles and shot in the same year, so I was close! I was really surprised by how many lovely shots of the countryside this movie had, and all the beautiful horses and frequent galloping about the actors had to do. I've enjoyed getting to see so many old swashbucklers with lavish color and cinematography on TH-cam.

    For a "B" picture, the production values, cast and script are all top-notch! An action-packed 80 minutes. The mountains of northern California may stand in for the Scottish Highlands, but the horsemanship is particularly impressive.

    Suddenly everyone is a geography major! It's a movie from 1948 folks - they didn't fly around the world filming "on location" in those days because it was too expensive and added too little to the story for audiences of the time. These days, everyone is more focused on how a movie looks than on the story, which is why most movies suck today. Congrats to you all for your keen eyes though! 😂

    This is a handsome film and was made in the attempt to build up Larry Parks career after his success in "The Jolson Story". It is loosely based on the historical feud between the Campbells and the Macdonalds. Columbia spent money on the picture; original tartans were created for the Gowans and MacArdens and a wonderful fake castle set constructed. The lovely scenery, costumes and sword fights add to the show, but Scotland it ain`t ! Never mind ! Hollywood wins out !
