The Flame and the Arrow (1950)
Practically plotless Robin Hood style swashbuckler from director Jacques Tourneur, that seems to be a vehicle for former circus acrobats Burt Lancaster and Nick Cravat to do lots of cool high wire style stunt work during a very lively finale set in the old castle used in 1931's Dracula.
Just a shame the preceding 75 minutes are largely talky and uninspiring.
