It's probably best to start off by saying that this is most certainly not an history lesson. Cecil B. De Mille has used the third crusade as little more than a template for his grand-scale story of Richard the Lion-heart (an efficient Henry Wilcoxon) as he capitalises on this holy quest as an excuse to avoid marrying the ambitious Princess Alice (Katherine de Mille), sister to co-crusader Philip II of France (C. Henry Gordon). En route to Jerusalem, they must provision in Navarre where the shrewd King Sancho (a rather fun George Barbier) sees an opportunity to offload his beautiful daughter Berengaria (Loretta Young) in return for victualling the army... We know that Richard and Berengaria were really in love, and for the rest of the film De Mille sticks to the script - but that's what rather drags it down. There are plenty of exciting siege and battle scenes around the city of Acre as the Christians attempt to reverse the Saracen battle spoils of the great Saladin (an effectively cast Ian Keith), but each time we return to the smouldering Young and her Rapunzel-like locks - whom, by now, is the object of both men's obsession The director is in his element with the big, set-piece action scenes and the photography from Victor Milner (who also did "Cleopatra" (1934) with de Mille) adds much to the epic-style look of the film, but Wilcoxon and Young don't really present us with an engaging pairing; and any sense of duplicity - particularly involving the conspiring French, is left too peripheral to the smouldering romance to make this as good as it could have been... There is a sterling performance from C. Aubrey Smith as the holy man, released at the beginning by Saladin and who goes on to mobilise the Christian armies to challenge the Islamic horde; and Alan Hale is quite effective in the role of the minstrel. Overall, I really enjoy these derring-do, heroic, adventure films and I did enjoy this - it's just that it could have been more rousing and less of a love story.
The young Bavarian princess Elisabeth, who all call Sissi, goes with her mother and older sister Néné to Austria where Néné will be wed to an emperor named Franz Joseph, Yet unexpectedly Franz runs into Sissi while out fishing and they fall in love.
Sissi is now the empress of Austria and attempts to learn etiquette. While she is busy being empress she also has to deal with her difficult new mother-in-law, while the arch-duchess Sophie is trying to tell the emperor how to rule and also Sissi how to be a mother.
After a wonderful time in Hungary Sissi falls extremely ill and must retreat to a Mediterranean climate to rest. The young empress’ mother takes her from Austria to recover in Madeira.
When disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death to a chess match for his life. Tormented by the belief that God does not exist, Block sets off on a journey, meeting up with traveling players Jof and his wife, Mia, and becoming determined to evade Death long enough to commit one redemptive act while he still lives.
In April of 1945, Germany stands at the brink of defeat with the Russian Army closing in from the east and the Allied Expeditionary Force attacking from the west.

When the end finally does come, and Hitler lies dead by his own hand, what is left of his military must find a way to end the killing that is the Battle of Berlin, and lay down their arms in surrender.

The immature young ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Franz Joseph, was extremely shy around women but (according to this film) was constantly being propositioned, lewdly or otherwise, by ambitious courtesans. When he was finally married to his Empress, the teen-aged Bavarian princess Sisi (Elizabeth), it seems that his relief knew no bounds, for he was now sure that he would never have to think about sex ever again. According to the filmmakers, this is the true history of that marriage. This story is a complete reversal of the romantic legend depicted in the popular 1955 film Sissi, which helped brighten the emerging stardom of Romy Schneider.
