The Black Rose

1950 · 116 min

A sweeping old-fashioned adventure that carries you across exotic lands with romance and danger, grand but a bit creaky.

Tagline
An adventure that will blaze... A love that will flame... 'till the stars grow cold...
Overview
In the 13th century, Walter of Gurnie, a disinherited Saxon youth, is forced to flee England. With his friend, Tristram, he falls in with the army of the fierce but avuncular General Bayan, and journeys all the way to China, where both men become involved in intrigues in the court of Kublai Khan.
