Having just seen "Ivanhoe" after many years, I was still thrilled to see the beautiful photography, and the beautiful Elizabeth Taylor. Actually I enjoyed the story (very different from the Book) and thought Robert Taylor was very good in the title role, and Guy Rolfe as Prince John hammed his way magnificently. The old stagers In Finlay Currie and Felix Aylmer showed how real professionals do it, while George Sanders played a role he has done many times. My big disappointment was Joan Fontaine who seemed cold and distant in a role that her sister would have handled much better (her Maid Marian in "Robin Hood" shows that clearly). The colour was vibrant and the action good, and I am lost trying to describe Emlyn William's effort
