The Black Shield of Falworth (1954)




Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh - The Black Shield of Falworth




Because King Henry IV is ailing, real power in England rests with the wicked Earl of Alban. Prince Hal plots with the Earl of Macworth to undermine the wicked earl's influence. Among those who serve at Macworth Castle are two peasants, Myles and Meg Falworth, who are really children of the wrongly dishonered Earl of Falworth. King Henry knights Myles and he defeats Alban, who had defamed and killed Myles and Meg's father. 1
