The Long Ships
1963, 121 minutes, Rated PG
Award-winners Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier headline a first-rate cast in this elaborately mounted Viking adventure from celebrated director Jack Cardiff.
A maverick Norse warrior guides his Viking brother, the King's daughter and a long-ship full of warriors in search of the fabled 'Mother of Voices' - a giant solid gold bell -coveted by El Mansuh, a Moorish prince obsessed with retrieving the legendary bell at any cost.
An epic tale of high adventure in far-off lands, secret treasure and majestic swordplay, The Long Ships features a superb supporting cast (including Russ Tamblyn, Oscar Homolka, Lionel Jeffries, Gordon Jackson) and is a rousing Viking escapade in the tradition of films like The Vikings and The 13th Warrior.
