This is movie made in 1960. It features REAL extras numbering at least 35 000 people. How many American movies have that many extras to start with??? 2 people DIED in making of this movie, because the battle is so realistic. It has excellent plot, begging for a remake by Spielberg, Soderberg or Petersen! Or Mel Gibson :)
It's based on a novel by NOBEL prize winning writer Sienkiewicz. He is only matched by Robert Graves of "I, Claudius". The costumes are realistic. The locations are accurate. This was about one of 10 battles defining the destiny of the world, yet because, it's in Eastern Europe it's downplayed by the West, which is arrogant and proud of its ignorance, lol. As if it was something to brag about ;)
