Ivanhoe and Rebecca are such a great doomed couple, and I love how they are so open about their feelings for each other in this fast-moving drama. The casting was so perfect, and the action sequences were really explosive. Young Sam Neill (remember him as Damien in Omen III?) is perfectly Satanic as the villainous Norman Brian Guilbert. (His motto is Gare Le Corbeau, which means Beware the Raven!)
I just wish that James Mason and Michael Hordern could have switched parts. James Mason would have been much better as the robust, stubborn Saxon Lord Cedric, and Michael Hordern would have been much more compelling as the sad and mournful Isaac of York.
