Alfred the Great.

Alfred versus the Viking Guthrum.
Michael Hemmings vs. Michael York.

*"30 Wednesday"
"5:45 PM       Alfred The Great (1969)
A medieval warrior fights to supplant his weakling brother on the throne,
Cast: David Hemmings, Michael York, Prunella Ransome.
Dir: Clive Denner. C-122 mins, TV-14, CC, Letterbox Format"*

I'm not saying it is great, but if you have never seen it,
now is your chance.  It has never been released on VHS or DVD
in NTSC.  I may have one of the only legal copies in existence on
NTSC VHS.  Turner Movies sent me one gratis years ago. It was
one of the few legitimate medieval movies in English I lacked.

This is preceded on the same day by:
*"12:30 PM       Man in the Iron Mask, The (1939)
The Three Musketeers rescue the king's unjustly imprisoned twin.
Cast: Louis Hayward, Joan Bennett, Warren William.
Dir: James Whale. BW-110 mins, TV-G"*
