The Black Arrow is a 1948 American adventure film directed by Gordon Douglas and starring Louis Hayward and Janet Blair.

However, Sir Richard receives messages sent via black arrow from "John-Amend-All", hinting that Brackley is responsible, and that he and his cronies are marked for death.

But during transport, one of Brackley's friends, Sir Oliver Oates, is killed by another black arrow containing a message, and Richard begins asking questions.

He soon learns that "John-Amend-All" is in fact a living Sir John Sedley, who survived his execution thanks to intervention from his friend Lawless, who has also fired all the black arrows.

In 1947 Edward Small signed a contract with Columbia to make two films, The Black Arrow and D'Artagnan, the Kingmaker, an adaptation of one of the sequels to The Three Musketeers.
