Interesting facts

  • Based on: Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe is a 1913 American silent adventure/drama film starring King Baggot, Leah Baird, Herbert Brenon, Evelyn Hope, and Walter Craven.

Filming

Filming was undertaken in and around Chepstow Castle in Monmouthshire, in June and July 1913. It was said at the time to be "the biggest venture of the kind ever attempted in England" [sic]. Many of the residents of Chepstow were accustomed to wearing costume as participants in local historical reenactments, and rates of payment for extras were higher than earnings at the local shipyard.
