The Bold Avenger...Whose Blade Slashed a Kingdom in Half!
!
Set during the English Civil War this historical drama from the famous Hammer Film
Productions comes to DVD for the first time.
An unlikely romance blossoms between two people
from opposing camps – one from the Roundheads, the other from the Cavaliers.
Colonel Judd (LIONEL JEFFRIES: Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang), a villainous anti-royalist loyal to Cromwell, is
bewildered by his daughter Clare’s (JUNE THORBURN: Tom Thumb) Royalist sympathies. Judd’s right-hand man Captain
Sylvester (OLIVER REED: The Three
Musketeers) is an enforcer for Cromwell’s parliamentarians and also June’s
boyfriend. Much to the consternation of Judd and Sylvester, Clare falls for
Edward Beverley aka The Scarlet Blade (JACK HEDLEY: For Your Eyes Only) a dashing Robin Hood figure leading the
Royalist rebels.
THE SCARLET BLADE is out on DVD
from 16 January, courtesy of Studio Canal.
