About The Flame and the Arrow
Dardo, a Robin Hood-like figure, and his loyal followers use a Roman ruin in Medieval Lombardy as their headquarters as they conduct an insurgency against their Hessian conquerors.
Directed by Jacques Tourneur, The Flame and the Arrow leans on a strong ensemble — Burt Lancaster, Virginia Mayo, Robert Douglas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1950.
