Journey to a land of excitement, adventure and incredible riches in this "sweeping" (
The Hollywood Reporter) epic starring Tyrone Power and Orson Welles. Filmed in glorious Technicolor across two continents,
The Black Rose is a sumptuous feast for the eyes and a "thrilling" (
Variety) cinematic achievement.
Fascinated by the mysteries of the East and shunned by the establishment of thirteenth-century England, Walter of Gurnie (Power), embarks on a journey to the exotic land of Cathay. Soon he joins the caravan of Bayan (Welles), a notorious warrior transporting gifts to Kubla Khan in Mongolia. Walter slowly earns Bayan's respect, but then risks everything - including his life - when a beautiful woman, the Black Rose, enlists him in a perilous mission: to save her from becoming Kubla Khan's concubine and return her to her native England.
