Matias Pineiro recommended La frusta e il corpo (The Whip and The Body) (1963) in Movies (curated)

"Color in light, as the artifice that bonds fear and desire and as faces travel through passages of blue, red and green. Bava, who was also a wild cinematographer, plays madly with color interaction to tell a story of ghostly bondage. Color affects our senses and permeates our perception, to blend fantasy with reality and pleasure with pain. The screen drips with color. When the movie finished, I thought I would have colored scars on my body."

"It’s got romance, it’s got national pride, it’s got good vs. evil, it’s got history — again! It’s just wonderful. Unfortunately it was a sad ending; I wish it (wasn’t). It’s based on history and William Wallace did go down and it’s a tribute to a good life, a changing life, and how education can change your life and travel and things and then he comes back to right the wrongs. Plus I did love the French queen, Sophie Marceau."

The only Gemmell book I know of that was written in the first person, in which he returns to the same world as his earlier "Knights of Dark Renown" (the events of which are only mentioned in passing).

In this Robin Hood-a-like tale, he details how an outlaw (who cares for nothing and no-one save himself) becomes a hero of legend, with a bit of time-travel, sorcery and the undead all thrown into the mix!
