Peter H @UFpjh Nov 24, 2022 I loved this movie. Given the time when it was made, it is very realistic. Heston was convincing and Richard Boone rocked as the loyal but tough companion in arms. you can watch on youtube. See more

Sep 4, 2020 Beautifully directed and filmed, wonderful score, well acted, well written, strange love story serves as the backdrop to the real story of tension between two brothers. Guy Stockwell is a standout. Why did we not see him in more quality roles? His scenes with Maurice Evans are worth replaying. The quality of this new Blu-ray is superb. Heston's best scenes are when he's the vulnerable warlord pining away for Forsythe. Fosythe and Farentino are fine, but lack the gravitas of the rest of the cast. One battle scene too many as they take over the third quarter of the film, and some early cheesy matte shots mar this movie. Also, why did they Have Paul Frees dub Michael Conrad and other's voices. The Warlord is an under appreciated gem. See more

Apr 12, 2017 Very good and accurate depiction of Medieval times. Heston gives just slightly better than his usual one note performance. And the synopsis here says 'Mormon' knight when it should say 'Norman Knight'. I will leave that alone! See more

Sep 4, 2016 A solid and sprawling film set in the pre-Columbus days. Very well made and expertly directed by Schaffner, but it's pace sometimes has a problem catching up with the material. See more

Jul 17, 2014 Charlton Heston had carried off the lead is several epics before this one, however whilst he does a decent job here the storyline is not epic material and it can get laborious in parts See more

Apr 6, 2014 Filme of the Four wast on, an I wast to behold thys, o magnificent Heston! 'Twas an after'noon I shalt not spend so pleasured but once a month. See more
