..
Lots of Duke regulars in this, forgettable load of nonsense!!
Directed by Arthur Lubin, who directed 4 early Duke Films
Maureen, less than revealing!!!!,
If it had been made today, who knows!!!
Victor McLaglen, Grant Withers, Arthur Shields
and Henry 'Scar' Brandon.
are at least some interest to Duke fans
Equally so, is a young Clint Eastwood un-credited as a Saxon!!!
Once again, if it was made today,
Clint would have shot everybody in Coventry.
Make my day..Saxon!

QuoteDisplay MoreThe sole raison d'être for this forgettable failure is to exploit the legend of Lady Godiva, who in medieval times supposedly expressed her social protests by riding naked through the city on horseback... Not surprisingly, the film did less than deliver the titillating ride that many in the audience may have expected...
A thin story line revolving around a battle between the Saxons and the Normans is developed, with Clint Eastwood taking a drop in screen credits from this low-budget adventure — a tedious embroidered 'hotchpotch' spectacle of Norman intrigue in Eleventh Century England, as the foreigners try to share and conquer the Saxon earl..
Maureen O'Hara plays the gentlewoman famous for her legendary ride while nude through Coventry... Is it to prove the loyalty of the Saxons? Godiva is the wife of Leofric (George Nader) earl of Mercia, who brings under control the Saxon shrew...
The film is a dull comic strip fictitious account...
