aka The Crimson Blade
As you know, Jim, there aren't many adventure movies set during the English Civil War, but fortunately, the glorious people of Hammer did at least provide us with John Gilling's The Scarlet Blade, a film that features a comparatively active female lead, Oliver Reed and others glowering with all their might, and an incredibly boring hero.

Oh yes indeed I will find this one somewhere, somehow, and make it mine. You know how I feel about Oliver Reed. Thank you again, Oh Tentacled One, for a most entertaining review.
You're welcome!
It's peculiar that this one is so difficult to find even now that most of Hammer's adventure movies have at least found their way to DVD.
Anyhow, it's Oliver Reed-centric enough you won't be disappointed by it, I think.
Turns out I was wrong: there's an official DVD of the movie out now in the UK.
