The Black Rose
The Black Rose is a 1950 British adventure historical film directed by Henry Hathaway and starring Tyrone Power and Orson Welles.
Talbot Jennings' screenplay was loosely based on a 1945 novel of the same name by Canadian author Thomas B. Costain, introducing an anachronistic Saxon rebellion against the Norman aristocracy as a vehicle for launching the protagonists on their journey to the Orient.
It was filmed partly on location in England and Morocco which substitutes for the Gobi Desert of China. The film was partly conceived as a follow-up to the movie Prince of Foxes (1949), and reunited the earlier film's two male leads.
British costume designer Michael Whittaker was nominated at the 23rd Academy Awards for his work on the film (Best Costumes-Color).
