Spanish heroic tale. Original title: Tirante el Blanco
Tirant Lo Blanc, by Joanot Martorell, is the most famous chivalric romance in the Catalan language. It was written in the 15th century. Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra, author of the great Spanish classic “Don Quixote”, thought very highly of “Tirant”, in contrast to his unfavorable opinion of many other books of chivalry.
I have not watched this film, but I suppose it is not an especially good adaptation of the Catalan classic, given a 4.1 rating at IMDb. The plot summary below makes it sound like an exploitation film:
Tirante, the white knight, is as committed to fighting the Turks in Constantinople as he is to relieving Carmesina, the heiress to the Byzantine Empire, of her virginity.
Esther Nubiola
Jane Asher
Victoria Abril
Is that the Jane Asher who was Paul McCartney’s main squeeze in the 1960’s and the inspiration for Here, There and Everywhere (among others)? That would make her 60 years old when she appeared nude here.
Love Jane, think her previous nudity was from 1970 so this might be one of the longest gaps between nude scenes of any actress
She did another nude scene between those two. Jane Asher in Closing Numbers (1994)
She is one of the sixteen actresses I know of with more than 35 years between her first and last nude scene.
