Taras Bulba (1962)
Country: US/YUG
Technical: col/scope 124m
Director: J. Lee Thompson
Cast: Yul Brynner, Tony Curtis, Christine Kaufmann, Sam Wanamaker
Synopsis:
In 16th century Ukraine, Pole and cossack unite against the Turkish aggressor. But Taras the cossack must first make his rebellious son ready to fight.
Review:
Yawnworthy family dramatics with a miscast Curtis do not augur well, though Thompson mounts some spectacular action sequences, shot in Yugoslavia. The climax is a steal from Solomon and Sheba, but the Waxman score is a winner.
