“The Vikings”

Bitter hatred divides two brothers. Prince Einar (Douglas) is the son and heir of a savage Viking chieftain. Prince Eric (Curtis) is his unknowing half-brother, the bastard offspring of Einar’s father and an English queen. When the Vikings kidnap a princess (Leigh), her beauty inflames the desires of both men, forcing a bloody duel that decides their fate…and the future of the English throne. This 1958 classic movie starring Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Ernest Borgnine, and Janet Leigh has finally been released on DVD. Actually shot on location in the fjords, it contains a great story as well as beautiful cinematography. The DVD contains the original theatrical trailer as well as a featurette with director Richard Fleisher.
