This is quite an entertaining melodrama than really belongs to the devious, cowardly Dennis Price as dodgy aristocrat "Sir Francis Castleton" who is out to steal the fair maiden "Oriana" (Anne Crawford) from her beau Stewart Granger ("Darrell") who is on a mission to return a valuable necklace to Spain. The plot has plenty going on, twists and turns, robbery, amnesia and betrayal - and luckily a bit of Jean Kent as the mischievous Gypsy "Rosal" who has a sultry quality (but who dances with two left feet). Crawford is fairly sterile as a heroine, the dialogue is a bit on the gloopy side and the staging at times too theatrical for the settings - but it is still an engaging team effort with plenty of comeuppances to be had at the end...
