Always loved this film - can't believe it's almost sixty years old now!
Beautiful score, once heard never forgotten, and the Viking burial at the end could bring a tear to a glass eye...

In the opening scene, Ernest Borgnine rapes the queen of England.
And he is presented as a semi-sympathetic character.
I'd say that was daring for the 50s.
(I'm glad he got to die with a sword in his hands. Valhalla I am coming!)
Also, this was the film that clued me in as to who Jamie Lee Curtis's parents were.
