7/10
Worth a watch.
29 November 2020
A very entertaining swashbuckler ,inspired by Robin Hood's well-known story : a young noble whose father was accused of treason and thus was deprived of his valuable properties .However ,he does not take refuge in the woods, but in one of daddy's friend's castle : but he's not given a preferential treatment :he's trained as a squire and he's always on fatigue ; he does not who he really is and he searches the library of the castle to penetrate the secret of his birth .

The Tony Curtis/Janet Leigh glorious team makes the movie a winner in the field.She teaches Curtis' sister (Barbara Rush ) how a lady must behave herself and is happy to find a more enthusing lady in waiting than the austere matrons in charge of educating her.

The movie only knows one tempo:accelerated ,and there's never a dull moment .Eminently predictable denouement ,but pleasant on a rainy day.
