Charge of the Black Lancers (Italian: I lancieri neri) is a 1962 swashbuckling adventure film directed by Giacomo Gentilomo and starring Mel Ferrer, Yvonne Furneaux and Leticia Román.[1] [2]
Sergio of Tula goes to Dubno to free Princess Mascia imprisoned by Queen Jassa, but he is instead seduced by the Queen igniting his ambition to let him commandeer her armed forces to have him seize her husband King Stephen's throne.
Charge of the Black Lancers was released in Italy on 31 August 1962.
A review in the Monthly Film Bulletin stated that the film's story and sub-plots are "almost enough to fill three or four less exuberant action-spectacles" but was a better than average film of its genre noting its "pace, verve and panache essential for entertainment of this kind"[3]
