Taras Bulba ( 1962) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 1962 and running 122 minutes,this movie is more than it seems.There is a Russian movie made in 2009 of the same story but I have not seen yet as it is in RUSSIAN.
However this film is about the Ukraine Cossacks of the 16 century and their struggles with the Poles.Yul Brynner as Taras Bulba  a tribal chieftain raised his sons and send them to be taught by the enemy Poles to further their education of what the world is all about.Against that back drop,one son Tony Curtis as Andrei Bulba  falls for a Pole and then all hell breaks out again between both sides.Its a sort of Romero Juliet with father kills son at the end.Sweeping scenery and music and battle punctuate the movie.Only took 1 & 1/2 stars off  for the films length and beginning to be a little dated battles.Sorry no trailer again but a sturriny music link follow the pix.
