excellent movie one of brynners best, wish it was on video
23 January 2002 | by (united states,dallas) – See all my reviews

Different kind of movie, but an epic movie in the style of the 50's and 60's. Yul Brynner is excellent as the indian chief, lots of action and drama. I wish someone would put it on video or dvd because I would love to add it to my collection along with a lot of other Yul Brynner's movies that nobody seems to have wanted to cash in on. It compares with Taras Bulba and the Ten Commandments
