The Crusades (1935)

(Europe and the Middle East; starting 1187 and probably covering several years)

Hooky DeMille epic has atheistic English King (Henry Wilcoxon) converted by his participation in the fight for the Holy Land and the love of a good women (Loretta Young). The portrait of Muslims in the film was apparently considered progressive for its time. I was board.
