Ivanhoe 1982 Full Movie
Chadwick Bosse
Ivanhoe is a 1982 British-American made-for-television historical romance film. An adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's 1819 novel of the same name, it stars Anthony Andrews in the title role. The film was directed by Douglas Camfield, with a screenplay written by John Gay. It depicts the noble knight Ivanhoe returning home from the Third Crusade and becoming involved in a power struggle for the throne of England.
Brian de Bois-Guilbert is treated more ambiguously than in most versions of the story. He develops some genuine affection for Rebecca of York towards the end, and although he could easily have won the fight against the wounded and weakened Wilfred of Ivanhoe, Brian de Bois-Guilbert lowers his sword and allows himself to be killed, thus saving Rebecca's life.
The film was part of a slate of films from Columbia Pictures Television then under Herman Rush.[1] Anthony Andrews' casting was announced in September 1981.[2] "It's impossible to make Ivanhoe without being a bit tongue in cheek," said Andrews.[3]
Michael Hordern said, "You could change our costumes from 12th Century to 20th Century and have us running about in automobiles instead of on horseback, and you could do the same story in terms of prejudice is still very strong. Human nature doesn't seem to have changed very much since Cedric's time."[4]
"The problem with Ivanhoe is that he is whiter than white, cleaner than clean", said Andrews. "He's a straight-cut hero with no rough edge. Each time he opens his mouth, he says something incredibly just. The problem was to turn him into a human being."[5]
I am always a sucker for honorable men.
Completely random aside, but this made me think of a scene from "Dude, Where's My Car?" where Jesse and Chester argue with an old guy about how to pronounce "honorable." One of my favorite bits, and any time someone says "honorable man," it pops into my head.
Anyway, keeping an eye out for this version!
I re-watched this movie partly for Stuart Wilson (after seeing/loving him in Princess of Thieves, I had to see him in something else) and for most of the film, I liked him but not de Bracy himself. But as soon as he yielded to King Richard, I liked him. Because of the whole honorable thing. :)
Aw! It's a fun one to watch regardless. But yeah, he has his own code of honor and he follows it. When he yields, that might be my favorite moment of his in the movie. Or when he tells de Bois Guilbert that he has yielded. That whole fight/yield thing anyway!!
Haha, I just stumbled across this while doing an Internet search for Stuart Wilson. I love Ivanhoe (1982), grew up with it on VCR from 20 years ago. My brothers and I watched it so many times that we could recite the dialogue between the 3 baddies by heart ("What a shame, Brian, now you'll never get your chance!") I agree with everything you've said about this movie. "That's what the rewind button is for!" Completely agree. I was obsessed and spent AGES trying to figure out that little line he said to his horse. Thanks to the Internet now, 20 years later, I finally know that I'm not the only De Bracy fan who exists. :D
large multi person bathtubs were a thing throughout the middle ages, most large towns had specialist bathhouses, where the water was heated, and btahing was communal and often mixed sex. It was only after the black death that thet began to be officially clsoed down as they were seen as palces the disease could spread. often there were snacks and prostitutes available thereien
Gosh, all the mylar and sparkle. Must be alchemists involved to chance silks and nice warm wool to such crap. Maybe it was due to threat or maybe whatever. Lol. But check out SnappyDragon on YouTube as she actually has blogs on what Jewish women wore. And the garments were regional.
I adore this book and am so glad to see someone mention it! It is so much fun to see how the kids respond to the 1952 movie. I still remember Rowena in their adventure being sanctimonious and addicted to bonbons.
So funny that in Soviet Union another adaptation was made (Ballad of the Valiant Knight Ivanhoe) about the same time, 1982 or 1983. I even thought this post was about it! Not sure about its costumes, but male ones seemed fine.
One of the most legendary writers of all time created the most adventurous fantasized and romanticized novel of all time Ivanhoe. Later in the timeline of movie making, several movies of this story were made, including an Australian cartoon movie from 1986.
In 1982, a British movie maker Douglas Camfield created a television movie together with the writer John Gay. Douglas was born in 8th May in India, got adopted by English parents in London, he sadly passed away the 24th January 1984. His Ivanhoe movie is claimed to be one of the best version of the story and in Sweden when it got released it became so popular that it is broadcast on tv even today as a new year tradition every 31 December.
After returning home from the war in the holy land. Ivanhoe (Anthony Andrews) saves a Jewish salesman Isaac of York (James Mason) from an ambush by the Normands. Grateful by his actions, Isaac offers Ivanhoe strong equipment and a fast horse for the tournament. Ivanhoe sees the tournament as chance to be forgiven by his father Cedric the Saxon (Michael Horden) and to reclaim his love for the Lady Rowina (Lysette Anthony). But the victory doesn't go as planned, when Ivanhoe get seriously injured by the ruthless Normand Templar Knight Brian Gilbert (Sam Niell). Gilbert is almost successful to kill Ivanhoe but get interrupted by a mysterious Black Knight who rescue Ivanhoe. Rebecca (Olivia Hussey) is the daughter of Isaac offers Ivanhoe protection and medical help. But she and her father get captured together with Ivanhoe, Cedric, and Rowina by the Normand leader Front De Beuf (John Rhys-Davies). Prince John (Ronald Pickup) order De Beuf to find the Black Knight and eliminate him, but what he doesn't know is the Black Knight is England's rightful King Richard the 1st (Julian Glover).
In the novel, the book describe more of the war in the holy land and tells Ivanhoes experience in the war with King Richard, in the movie, it's not shown at all, it's not even mentioned until later in the movie, it's starts with Ivanhoe dressed as a Pilgrim and rescue Isaac.
Brian Gilbert was named De Bois Gilbert, and was more brutal to Rebecca, but in the movie Brian Gilbert has love affection for Rebecca, despite he kidnap her, he get more sensitive and sympathy for her.
the Character Maurice De Bracy is the third leader of the Normands in the movie, and a 2nd rival to Lady Rowinas affection, it in the novel he wasn't one the leaders, he was only a mere soldier, in the novel only Front De Beuf and De Bois Gilbert were the leaders, although one part was correct in the movie, and that is when he surrendered to King Richard, and the king let him go to send a message to Prince John.
IVANHOE is another great TV-movie from the early '80s that would have been on a future TV on DVD Wish List. Happily, that's a post I won't need to write, as I just discovered IVANHOE came out on DVD on May 5, 2009.
This version of IVANHOE stars Anthony Andrews in the title role. Andrews was one of the stars of DANGER: UXB (1979), BRIDESHEAD REVISITED (1981), and a truly marvelous version of THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL (1982), which also starred Jane Seymour and Ian McKellen.
IVANHOE costars two superb actors, James Mason and Sam Neill. The cast also includes Olivia Hussey, Michael Hordern, Lysette Anthony, Julian Glover, David Robb, and John Rhys-Davies.
It's exciting to discover that suddenly a number of fondly remembered TV-movies are making it to DVD. Hopefully this bodes well for even more good titles to show up soon.
I saw this film when released on TV in the early 80's. I really enjoyed it but being an Olivia Hussey fan I am biased. It did a fine job bringing the period to life and I'm glad to see that it is now available to enjoy again.
