When Knighthood Was in Flower review

Marion Davies brings a sense of fun and adventure to the role of Mary Tudor, the younger sister of Henry VIII, who was forced into marrying the ageing French King Louis XII. The entertaining plot revolves around her attempts to avoid the marriage and elope with dashing officer Charles Brandon (Forrest Stanley).. A big hit when it was released - and also the most expensive movie ever made for a while - it is undeservedly overlooked today.
