There is such a sense of childlike wonder and fun in Henry Hathaway’s 1954 Camelot legend, PRINCE Dauntless, that it’s easy to forgive the certain incongruities in accents (Robert Wagner’s titanic American tones…hard to gain he plays Donald Crisp’s son…Trustworthy Hayden, looking and sounding more like Wild Bill Hickok than Sir Gawain…Victor McLaglen as the most Irish Viking you’ll ever leer!), and concentrate, instead, on the energy, pageantry, and sweep of Hathaway’s adaptation of Hal Foster’s classic laughable strip.

Certainly, one would be hard-pressed to assemble a finer cast; in addition to Wagner, Hayden, McLaglen, and Crisp, you have James Mason as the villain, Sir Brack, resplendent, and far more believable than he had been as Rupert of Hentzau in MGM’s remake of THE PRISONER OF ZENDA; Janet Leigh and Debra Paget, both ethereally pleasing as the sisters, Aleta and Ilene; and Brian Aherne, as King Arthur, so perfect in the role that you wish his allotment had been larger.
In the early 1950s, there was a resurgence of swashbuckling films in Hollywood, and a original sub-category appeared, ‘Knights in Training’, with Fox’s PRINCE Fearless, and Universal’s THE Dark SHIELD OF FALWORTH (starring Tony Curtis) both devoting sizable veil time to the education of squires in the knightly skills of jousting and sword fighting. These scenes are tall fun to contemplate, particularly for children (knights had to go to school, too!), and paint a far more true characterize of the difficult work eager in mastering the required talents than did the novel film, A KNIGHT’s Chronicle.

As we follow the adventures of the Viking Prince as he restores his kingdom, finds adore, and wins a area at the Round Table, special credit must be given to Franz Waxman’s spectacular music. One of the most memorable scores ever produced for a film, the theme has become a staple at the Hollywood Bowl, and for the Boston Pops. Once heard, it is not forgotten!
While the magical elements of the anecdote are downplayed (the mystical powers of the ‘Singing Sword’ are more implied than actually shown), the memoir itself has such a sense of wonder that it isn’t missed. The heroes of Camelot are all display (Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, Gawain, and Galahad), and the Round Table scenes are as majestic as any film has ever accomplished.
PRINCE Fearless may not be in a league with EXCALIBUR, but it certainly holds it’s possess against KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE, CAMELOT, and FIRST KNIGHT, and as a family film it can’t be beat!
Released in 1954, “Prince Audacious” is as grand fun for the whole family now as it was fifty years ago. This colourful, Cinemascope movie is a feast for the perceive, and thoroughly engrossing from originate to effect. You have a dauntless young hero to cheer for–a gross villain to “snarl”–action–romance–beautiful sets, locations, costumes–and Henry Hathaway’s expert direction.
A very young Robert Wagner stars as “Prince Bold”, a Viking who wishes to become a knight in the court of King Arthur–he certainly cuts a dashing figure, once you gather ragged to a rather peculiar, but compulsory, Prince Audacious wig! Fearless soon finds himself eager in a treacherous opinion to oust his hold father, King Aguar ( laid-back, avuncular Donald Crisp ), and–zounds!–King Arthur himself ( laid-back, avuncular Brian Aherne ) . Of course, our hero calm finds time to drop in savor with Princess Aleta ( magnificent Janet Leigh ) –not enough romance? –well, Aleta’s handmaiden, Ilene ( sultry Debra Paget ) is “smitten” with Valiant’s mentor, Sir Gawain ( a bluff and hearty Pleasant Hayden ) . Stirring up the whole pot is the ambitious, unscrupulous Sir Brack ( James Mason, stealing scenes with ease ) . We have a very racy jousting scene, plenty of battles, narrow escapes and other feats of “derring do”. There is, in fact, never a stupid moment! There are more than a few “camp” aspects to this movie, not the least of which are those strong American accents of Mr.Wagner and, especially, Mr.Hayden. Remember “The Gloomy Shield of Falworth” when Tony Curtis, in heavy Bronx accent, says ” choose me to da castle of my fadda “? There are a few smiles like that here.
The DVD is beautiful–you will be hard pressed to gather many films more colourful than this exquisite Cinemascope gem from Fox. Extras are sparse–a few trailers and a brief promotional clip from the fifties. Some comments from Robert Wagner would have been fun–fifty years later, and he mild looks great–I wonder what he eats for breakfast? !
While it may not be in the same class as “The Adventures of Robin Hood”, “Prince Valorous” remains a glowing example of Hollywood swashbuckling hokum that will not wear out its welcome with repeated viewings. Recommended.
