Plot: Cartoonist Hal Foster's medieval hero, the Scandinavian Prince Valiant, comes to the screen in all his Dutch-bob-haircut glory in this 1954 film directed by Henry Hathaway (Kiss of Death). Robe...( read more read more... )rt Wagner plays the title role and does a bang-up job of it, convincingly portraying the heroic prince as he enters the court of King Arthur (Brian Aherne) in England and becomes (with some tutelage from Sir Gawain, played by Sterling Hayden) a Knight of the Round Table. Determined to restore his dethroned family to their proper seat back home, Valiant takes on the Black Knight (James Mason), who plans to do away with Arthur and then finish his misdeeds back in Scandia. Under such pressure, the prince, quite understandably, falls in love with Princess Aleta (Janet Leigh). Hathaway proves to be the perfect director for this material, as his fluid skill, moderate forcefulness, and adaptability to genre necessities keep the film from teetering too far in the direction of pulp--or self-seriousness. --Tom Keogh

    I used to watch this all the time as a kid. It's pretty good for an older movie. It's a good story about knights and maidens, featuring jousting tournaments, betrayal, vikings, castle sieges, and all child appropriate!

    Robert wagner at his best and does a fantastic job with his character. It basically is the history of Valiants entrance at King Arthors court.! It would later become a regular comic book strip and then enter the domain of newspapers around the country. well acted and portrayed, this is a really classy classic of the 50's.

    Endearingly laughable old school Hollywood swashbuckler complete with silly wigs, pseudo olde worlde dialogue and pantomime villains.
