Quentin Durward
In 1951, MGM filmed an adaptation of "Ivanhoe" by Sir Walter Scott in Britain, starring Robert Taylor and produced by Pandro S. Berman. The studio was so pleased with the results that even before the film was released they were looking at a follow up for Taylor, and "Quentin Durward" was suggested. The project became a certainty when "Ivanhoe" became one of the biggest hits of Taylor's career. He was scheduled to make the film after completing "Knights of the Round Table".
