R T @crillovision Jun 26, 2026 This is honestly one of the worst movies I ever actually paid to see and sat through all the way. It gives hokum a bad name. Tony Curtis seems to be in another movie throughout and the "romance" involves a lot of staring across battlefields at his shimmering lady love miles away. At the screening the audience was actually laughing at these moments. There is not one unpredictable second and the "duel" between Curtis and a big fat guy on horses jumping a chasm is as lame as it sounds. Yul does lots of peppy stuff and singing about drinking (all his men do too) and by the end the song has long overstayed it's welcome. It all has absolutely nothing to do with the source material at all - nothing. If you like vast amounts of horse riders waving weapons repeatedly or truly bad attempts by actors to sound Russian or Baltic or Boris Badinov this is your meat though. On the laugh out loud meter I would actually give it two stars though.

I actually watched this in a theater when it was first released. The most vivid part that I remembered on the rewatch were the jumps over the canyon.

Time for a Hollywood remake! See more donald d @RT53452709 Jun 26, 2021 Very dated movie, does not come off well in these days. The type of spectacle movie people liked in 1962 is so different than now. The acting was more like a children's movie, than a true war movie. I saw it in 1962 and that was enough.

It is about Taras who has settled into comfortable farm life after years of adventures and swashbuckling with his cossack companions. Tony Curtis and Yul Brynner give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. J. Lee Thompson did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the adventure and drama. See more Read all reviews
