Bears almost no relation to the 1960s remake, focusing instead on entertainment over the political realities. The title scene is justly recognize as a thrilling action spectacle --it better be considering how many poor horses must've been destroyed. Can't say this was one of the more fruitful De Havilland/Flynn pairings though; neither actor was given much to work with.

After a quite slow start, it picks up halfway through until an absolutely thrilling last act.
