In the Days of Chivalry (1911) watch online HD

A story of love and lovers taken from the quaint verses which tell of Accausin and Nicolette. Probably not many who will see the film have read the verses, but the picture has the merit of being interesting without a knowledge of the poem. It is one of those love tales in which first the father of the young man, a duke, objects to his son's marriage and imprisons the girl. She escapes, and the young man searches for her, exacting a promise from his father that he may wed the girl of his choice if he wins the next battle. He wins, but the father still objects, and the young man runs away during his betrothal. The girl, a princess in her own right, now encounters her share of difficulty, her father having ideas about her marriage which do not coincide with hers. She runs away, disguised as a harper, making her way back to find her lover, now the reigning duke in place of his father. They are married and the love tale ends in consummation. The setting is very elaborate, and the pageant of dukes and earls, and knights and ladles, which move across the screen are all interesting, appealing strongly to the imagination and presenting a picture difficult to surpass in its beauty and completeness Many of the scenes are artistically conceived and carried out, and the entire picture will attract attention because it is above the ordinary, possessing qualities which refute the main criticisms of motion pictures and and their weakness. It will take rank among the best films of the month. - The Moving Picture World, January 14, 1911
