The Black Rose Overview:
The Black Rose (1950) was a Adventure - Film Adaptation Film directed by Henry Hathaway and produced by Louis D. Lighton.
SYNOPSIS
The heroic saga of Walter of Gurnie, a rebellious Saxon nobleman chased from thirteenth-century Norman England. Walter and his partner, the expert bowman, Tristram, head for the Far East and travel to the court of Kublai Khan in the company of the Warlord Bayan. They soon realize they are merely well-kept prisoners and attempt to escape with Bayan's gift to Khan, the concubine Maryam, who has fallen in love with Walter. Welles was reportedly a pill on the set, as his attentions were diverted to developing his Othello. But curious to see him in a costume epic.

Quotes from
Tristram Griffin: They sounded like the anger of God! I think perhaps they were! They're killing every man, woman, and child in the district like harvesters through a field of grain! They pull their heads forward by the hair for the ax. Not one left alive! Like harvesters cutting wheat!
Bayan: You can refuse to go if you want to. The risk is great enough.
Walter of Gurnie: No. I'll go, my Lord.
Bayan: It's settled then.
[as Walter turns to go]
Bayan: Scholar? Maybe I'm a little sorry I thought of this journey for you, but be sure of this: if they kill you, I'll kill 10 of them for every hair on your head... I have a strange feeling I may not see you again... If that's true, I'll miss you, Scholar... I don't miss many men.
Walter of Gurnie: Well, for your sake, I'll try not to get killed.
Bayan: That's the only way you can ever sleep soundly, you know, when your enemy's sleep is eternal.
