——UPGRADED——
The story, based on an ancient legend, concerns Hagbard, the son of a slain Norse king. Seeking revenge against the rival clan responsible for the killing, Hagbard calms down long enough to establish a truce. He also falls in love with Signe, daughter of his onetime enemy. Signe’s former beau, sizzling with jealousy, breaks the truce and makes it appear that Hagbard was responsible. The young prince escapes, but returns disguised as a woman to his beloved Signe.

Happened to see this in a theater upon original release, then eventually find a copy (after a great many years of searching for it), though not at the upgraded resolution you’ve been able to offer to us. Thanks !
