One of the movies included in "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (and how they got that way)" by Harry Medved and Randy Lowell.
The Sunday Express newspaper gave this movie a bad review stating "Do not adjust your set, the sound you hear is Sir Walter Scott turning in his grave."
Now forever infamous for the line "War War war, that's all you ever think about Dick Plantagenet!"
This movie invented a military order of "Castelaines" or "Castlers", of which Sir Giles Amaury (Robert Douglas) is the Master. In the source novel, these characters are Knights Templar, whom Walter Scott invariably depicted as villains. It is unclear whether the change was made because of the Production Code (Templars were a monastic order, so hostile depictions might fall under the rules against negative depictions of clergy), or to avoid upsetting the Masonic Knights Templar, of which a number of distinguished Hollywood figures were members.
This was Warner Brothers' answer to the hugely popular MGM adaptation of another Sir Walter Scott medieval era novel, Ivanhoe (1952), which had taken in seven million dollars at the box-office.Though even with the added attraction of the new CinemaScope format, this adaptation of The Talisman did not perform as well.
"Lady Edith: War, war! That's all you ever think about, Dick Plantagenet! You burner, you pillager!"
"[Sir Kenneth tries to steal a kiss] Lady Edith: No, no, my dearly betrothed. Richard would set the headsman on your neck - he has said as much. Sir Kenneth: Then kiss me quickly, my bonnie, while these lips are still warm. Lady Edith: No, no! (they kiss) Ah, this is a pleasant madness. Sir Kenneth: A lunacy with which I would love to be afflicted... to the end of my life. If Richard would take my life, I must kiss softly."
