Rating:  -
Burt Lancaster and Virginia Mayo are wonderful in this movie, as are all the supporting cast members. I saw this film on television as a young girl, and have loved it ever since. I introduced my own son to this movie in the early 80's. He's now 30 plus and it's still one of his favorites. These older movies have such clever dialogue, such as when one of the villains in this film is described as "...that jaundiced excretion of a bilious toad's eye!" That's a line my son memorized well before he was 10 years old and astonished me when he came out with it in the middle of a role playing game years later! Definitely one I watch over and over again.

Burt Lancaster exploded upon the screen in the 1946 film noir THE KILLERS. For the remainder of the decade film noir was Lancasters' stock in trade with such classics as BRUTE FORCE and SORRY,WRONG NUMBER. In 1950 however, Burt made a sharp left turn when he combined his extraordinary acrobatic ability with this tongue-in-cheek swashbuckler which (literally) vaulted him to new heights. (Warner Bros. offered a million dollar "reward" to anybody who could prove that Lancaster did not do his own stunts.) In this film Burt swashes with the best of them as he plays an Italian peasant who reluctantly leads his people in rebellion against the occupying forces of the Hessions. Lancaster with his overwhelming charm and that trademark grin puts himself in Errol Flynns' class with this one. However, as good as this film is, it is NOT a great one. (Lancaster's 1952 film THE CRIMSON PIRATE is a great one and for my money the best swashbuckler ever made.) That said, THE FLAME AND THE ARROW is a pleasant enough diversion for those of us who enjoy an old fashioned tongue-in-cheek adventure film every now and then. For that reason and Burt Lancasters presence I recommend this film.

When I was a kid, "The Flame and the Arrow" was a staple at the Saturday matinee and I'm pleased to discover after 50 years, the film has not lost any of its wit or excitement, as much of a treat for adults as it is for children. It features Burt Lancaster, with the build of a Greek statue, at his handsomest and sassiest, those pearly whites glistening for the camera, and the beautiful Virgina Mayo, who also comes across as being carved from the finest Carrera marble.
Among the treats are watching the bouncing, athletic Burt go through his circus routine with sidekick/trainer Nick Cravat, with whom he started out early in his career as a trapeze artist.
The plot is lifted straight out of Robin Hood/William Tell legend, but who cares about such trifles when there are such handsome men, beautiful women, not to mention slimy hard-hearted villains, and gorgeous scenery to enjoy? As can be said of so many great films from the Golden Age, "they just don't make 'em like this anymore!"
Top notch entertainment for young and old alike. Add this one to your library and enjoy it with your children - and if you don't have children, watch it with friends.
