Everyone remembers the largest Vikings film of all time, but few people remember this unjustly forgotten competitive work that was released 61 years ago

In 1958, the American studio released MGM with Vikings with Richard Playisher with Kirk Douglas, Tony Kurti and Janet Lee, and the success was $ 13 million, which is subject to $ 144.7 million in the world today for 38.9 million budgets.

Thereafter, the European Cinema seized these early small explanatory images of the prince (1960), the Vikings fast, the Tartars, the last Vikings (1961) or the Vikings attack (1962). Before this smart, the American Studio in Colombia responded to a film that was intended to have the same success as Fleischer: The Long Cives.

Viking treasures of hunting

To determine all the chances on his side, the firm hired Jack Cardiff, King of Color and Technicians and the director of the Vikings Photography as a director. They tried to rent Ernest Borgin as well as in the Vikings, but it was unsuccessful. However, we need to find a star that can make a movie.

The role was offered by 50 -year -old Richard Widmm, who refused four times before he was convinced. In exchange for his agreement, he plays Sidney in the role of an antagonist.

The story is the Rolf, the Vikings, who are looking for at all prices to hold their hands on the call called “Mother of Voice”, which is said to be giant and made of gold. During the study, he contradicts the Scorpio leader named Ali Mansu, who also wants to find this lost artefact.

This simple treasure hunt offers a breathtaking sequence, such as the struggle between the Vikings, which is hidden on the beach and prepared with a scorpion cavalry (about 100 extra extra money on the horse that is ready for charging), the sequence of the city square with an iron marine (this time, a few hundred people gathered).

The recipe for “Vikings”

The longitudinals really gets a Vikings recipe, young Vikings, and a beautiful princess (Russ Tamblyn and Beba Loncar), with a remarkable abuse, a good dose of violence (torture is not a camera), but not crushed in Ali Mansu’s harem. Where dracons are distinguished, he will abandon the family tragedy in favor of hunting treasures.

But if longships are an opportunistic film that tries to get to the Scandinavian trend screen, it does not deserve to be condemned, and vice versa, we offer some less awesome but very beautiful revision that deserves to be (re -). It was published in France in a physical format by Sidonis Calysta.
