This is far more pleasing both as a silent action film and as an example of two-strip Technicolor than the more highly touted Fairbanks feature THE BLACK PIRATE of a few years earlier. In the latter, only reds, blues and browns registered and there was only static camerawork and no feel for muting or shading of colors. In THE VIKING the color is truly beautiful, the finest I've seen of the surviving Technicolor silents, and the story is both a well directed love story and a rousing adventure film There is a love triangle, good acting, good crowd and fight scenes and the nobility of Christian vs. pagan worship and the discovery of the New World. In addition the leading actress is both visually stunning and talented, very reminiscent of a young Sarah Bernhardt. Very highly recommended. The video print contains a symphonic and sound effects soundtrack with healthy chunks of Wagner's FLYING DUTCHMAN and DIE WALKURE woven effectively throughout.
