On My Way to the Crusades, I Met a Girl Who... Audience Reviews

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
oldgringo2001 I saw this movie in one of the grind houses that used to flourish between 5th and 7th Street on Market in San Francisco some time between 1969 and 1971. The version I saw was a full English Dub. Curtis did have a few good bits, but it also had some strange stuff like a young woman asking a saintly monk about her place in things and being told that like all women she has no soul. For all I know, the Italian dub might have entirely different dialog. I remember a laughably unconvincing "castle" somewhere in the Italian countryside (I presume). It's hard to believe Curtis had fallen so far since The Boston Strangler and (my favorite) The Great Race not that many years earlier.
B-Fuller You are not the only person that remembers this film.I thought it was funny and better the Mel Brooks "Men in Tights" which had a similar theme. As I remember it Tony Curtis is a young knight who falls for a lovely young maiden that gives him a really hard time until she realises that he really does love her. One their wedding day this load turns up and orders him to come on the crusades with him. But he must not leave his new bride, who he has not even spent one night with, without protection. The blacksmith is commissioned to construct a "Chastity Belt" for the young lady. The funniest scene for me is Tony pretending to have found some him for the lady and as they cuddle Tony slips the fiendish device upon her and off he goes. I wish I could see it again as the last time was about 20 years ago.If anyone knows where a copy can be found with English then please post a note here.Thanks, Brian.
shepardjessica-1 A well-intentioned spoof of "chastity belts" in that time period before the 1950's (way before) that has been tossed on the junk-sploitation pile of late 60's flicks that weren't too serious. In the meantime, they made a lovely, comic fable that couldn't POSSIBLY offend anyone of any persuasion because of the subject matter.Tony Curtis was winding down this under-valued talent as an actor, Monica Vitti (supremely majestic and tragic in some great European films) and a nicely shaded atmosphere make this film (bomb) a delight without being one of the best of the year. I'm shocked more people over 40 haven't even heard of it (Film Fans I'm talking about). Anyway, it's not great stuff or slyly meaningful in any type of slanderous or subjective way, it's a wry spoof with no REAL nudity that mocks conventions a long time ago and is not badly directed. A 6 out of 10. Best performance = Mr. Curtis. I'm not sure if it's on VHS or DVD. I saw it in a theatre in a conservative town when I was a teenager. Go figure!
David Acres I'm I the only person to like this film ?? I saw it a long time ago and remember it as being a quirky film with some funny moments. All in all not as bad as it's made out to be !Not an easy film to get hold of.
