1982 film "starring James Mason"?[edit]

The lead in the 1982 film was played by Anthony Andrews; James Mason may have been a bigger "star", but his role as Isaac of York was definitely a supporting one. Is it correct, then, to talk of this film as "starring James Mason"?--CRConrad (talk) 13:42, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

"Ivanhoe" in English is similar to "Ekkehard" in German, both names are literally "Ironheart" in modern English. Having an "iron heart" means "to be brave", in German, and possibly, in English as well. Purportedly, those names have been very common in the Middle Ages. 79.227.183.115 (talk) 03:11, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
