"I will kiss the devil before my son wears a Polish collar!" declares Cossack warrior Taras Bulba, thus laying down the fundamental conflict of this epic film, based on the classic book by Russian novelist Nikolai Gogol. After the Polish army and the Cossacks defeat the Turks, the Poles betray their fierce collaborators in order to claim the Cossacks' ancestral home, the Steppes. Scattered, the Cossacks bide their time, and Bulba (Yul Brynner) sends his son Andrei (Tony Curtis) to a Polish college to learn the secrets of their culture. Though Andrei faces cruelty and prejudice, he falls in love with a Polish noblewoman, Natalia (Christine Kaufmann, a lovely German actress in one of her few English-language roles). Andrei, torn by love and loyalty to his people, risks everything in a desperate attempt to win Christine, even if it pits him against his own father. Taras Bulba is far from a great film--there are some laughable special effects, the battle scenes are confused and sluggish, and Curtis never quite loses his Bronx accent. Despite that, Curtis' star power comes through, and Yul Brynner tears up the screen with his amazing physical presence and emotional intensity; the man was truly a unique and compelling actor, who found only a few roles that suited him--this was one. By the end, Gogol's muscular plot catches you in its grip. The hypnotically gripping final scenes overcome all the cheesiness that came before. --Bret Fetzer

Both Tony Curtis and Yul Brynner put in a great acting performance in this action film. Very interesting plot, plenty of villains and heroes and great action scenes. Rolling landscape and very cool costumes! This is considered to be a classic with good reason. This gets a strong recommendation for my money.

Taras Bulba
For years, my brother & I would phone each other each time this classic epic movie aired on TV, to make sure that we didn't miss out on seeing it. I am so excited to finally have it on DVD! An all-time favourite - drama, betrayal, laughter, tears, love - a father for his sons, a man & a woman for each other, men for their country.

THE MOVIE WAS OK BUT WHY DID I PAY FOR EXPEDITED DELIVERY AND STILL HAVE THE PRODUCT LATE (AFTER FATHERS DAY) WHEN I COULD HAVE JUST LEFT IT AT THE LOW DELIVERY RATE AND RECIEVED IT AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME LENGTH OF TIME?? NOT REAL COST EFFECTIVE...
Rating: -
I grew up with this movie & found it even better now than 40+ years ago. Along with The Magnificent Seven, Yul Brynner at his best with a young and dynamic Tony Curtis as a bonus - a classic!
Rating: -
A Great and entertaining epic. A must watch for anyone with Ukrainian or Polish ancestery. Yul Brynner does a great job as a proud Cossack father. I would recommend.
