    Thumbs up Saw an old Movie from 1964, on Netflix. The Long Ships!

    Richard Widmark, Russ Tamblyn, and Sidney Poitier. It was sort of funny seeing Widmark, with Blonde Hair. The Story is about Vikings trying to find some gigantic Solid Gold Bell. They run into Moors. Sidney Poitier is the Sultan, with more Hair than I have ever seen him with. The Ships are real, I wonder how many Horses were hurt in the Movie. Recommend it well done Movie. They were actually able to make good Movies before CGI came out. The Long Ships also used some scenes from the 1960 Movie, The Vikings. Well done.

    The Vikings were also Period Correct! None of them had Horns on their Helments.

    They rode the "mare of steel".
    A good movie. Russ Tamblyn was the young tuff who died early in the movie "West Side Story" a couple of years before.
