Question
All I remember about the film is that it came out (probably) in the late sixties, it featured a leader with several knights on a quest, all of the companion knights died (one died by falling in boiling water), and at the end all seven(?) dead kights were magically resurrected for a happy ending.  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Steve,

 I have some good news. The movie you are looking for is called, "The Magic Sword". This 1962 fantasy was about an evil sorcerer named Lodac who captures Princess Helene and whisks her off to his castle. Young George has been enamored of Helene from afar, and aided by a magic sword given to him by his sorceress stepmother he sets off with his six knights to save her. However, he must travel with Sir Franton, who also has romantic aspirations for the Princess. Together the knights must face Lodac's seven curses and liberate the Princess.
 The movie is available to buy from Amazon.com, Just follow the link below.
