medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
This is a scene from "The Crusades", Cecil B. De Mille's epic. "The
Crusader" in question is Henry Wilcoxon as Richard the Lion-Hearted. He and
Saladin are negotiating a number of things including who will finally win
the heart of Loretta Young as Berengaria who has somehow fallen captive to
Saladin and is being lodged in his harem while he tries to convince her not
to return to her unappreciative husband.

Hollywood.
Tyron Power, i thought, but i can't find the movie on the imdb :
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Power,%20Tyrone
anyway, it was in *some* swashbuckler, from the early '50s, i think.
of course, all those movies were well-founded on Original Sources.
