the hellfire club (1961)

Jason (Keith Michell), returns to his ancestral home to reclaim his birthright, years after being taken away by his mother. But he finds his cousin Thomas (Peter Arne), has taken Jason's lands in his absence, and he isn't going to give up the title without a fight. A sideline that Thomas is the Hellfire Club and he calls on it's members to help prevent Jason taking what is rightfully his.
A run of the mill swashbuckling action adventure is enlivened by a wonderful cameo by Peter Cushing as a lawyer working Jason's case and plenty of sword fights and ladies throwing themselves at Jason gagging for some romance.
