The Story of one brave man's attempt to restore Richard The Lion- Hearted to the throne stolen by his evil brother, Prince John, Ivanhoe also depicts an unusual dilemma of love. Robert Taylor stars as the interpid knight - errant who is charmed by not one fair lady, but two: the melting dark-eyed Rebecca (Elizabeth Taylor) and the stately Saxon princess, Rowena ( Joan Fontaine). In a chilling contrast to these tender lovers, there is George Sanders as the malevolent De Bois- Guilbert, Ivanhoe's deadly enemy and constant threat.
