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.

This movie is made from a classic of Russian history.
In a way it remind me of Native American history, in which a
plains culture on horse back meets a western civilization of cities and schools. In this movie Taras Bulba wins his battle much like Sitting Bull
did with General George Armstrong Custer, but you can see that his culture
is no match for cannon. "The charge of the light brigade" came later in history, but this movie shows that cavalry was the last hope of some cultures in the face the western cultural expansion.
I like the movie in which the Cossack's son says to the Polish governor's daughter (princess) that she is his country.

This film got lots of publicity when it came out; I even had a comic-book version of it. It has stood up to the test of time better than some, but still has some quaint aspects: no blood or gore in the vast battle scenes. Historical inaccuracies abound (what are the Polish nobles doing in an Orthodox church?), and the irony of a good Jewish boy like Tony Curtis playing a cossack shouldn't be missed.
Rating: -
To say this flick was over-acted would be oalling the Black Plague a bad spot in the road. Brenner and Curtis are both pretty plastic. Too bad Janet Leigh wasn't in this. Then we would at least have had something to look at.
