the scarlet blade (1964)

aka The Crimson Blade.
"We are to remain here until the last royalist is hanged."
It's the English Civil War, and King Charles I has been captured by the tyrant Colonel Judd (Lionel Jeffries) and his right-hand man Captain Sylvester (Oliver Reed). Edward Beverley (Jack Hedley) plans to rescue the King with some help from Judd's daughter Claire (June Thorburn), who is opposed to her father's political sympathies.
Historical, boys own adventure, that is ultimately forgettable.
