Trama e commenti: animamia.net: «Il telefilm Ivanhoe, interpretato da Roger Moore, era ambientato nel Medioevo e narrava le gesta di Ivanhoe, cavaliere senza macchia e senza paura che si batteva contro gli uomini di Giovanni Senza Terra e lo Sceriffo di Nottingham aspettando il ritorno di re Riccardo Cuor di Leone, coadiuvato naturalmente dal grande Robin Hood. La sigla era epicissima (aiii-vanooooh, aii-vanooh) con i cavalli bianchi dei buoni, con abiti bianchi tipo crociati, e i cavalli neri con armature scure dei cattivi. Mischie furibonde, duelli accaniti, insegumenti spettacolari, insomma, un grande telefilm».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - angelfire.com - classicthemes.com - wunschliste.de - screenonline.org.uk: «Heroic knight Ivanhoe returns from the Crusades to find an England bereft of her King. With the King's villiainous brother, Prince John, intent on seizing the throne, Ivanhoe travels the country righting wrongs. A medieval-set action adventure series based on some of the characters in Sir Walter Scott's 1819 novel, this sure-handed Anglo-American production gave a youthful Roger Moore his first starring television role. As an adaptation of sorts, Ivanhoe was disappointing in its shortcomings; as a swashbuckler series it was bold, striking and distinctly enjoyable.

Shooting started in early 1957; at first, the interior scenes were shot at Elstree Studios. It was decided to move the location shooting to California (to the Columbia Ranch) to film the series' exteriors (the winter in England at that time presented a rather bleak landscape)...».
