A good, though not great, movie from a time when hollywood actually made good movies. Well worth the time to watch this swashbuckling, adventure, action movie. It is light & humorous, not the gore filled, CGI, pinball machine constant action of the garbage hollywood puts out now a days. Quick glimpse: Two viking brothers steel the Norse king's ship, and daughter, to seek out a large gold bell, hinted at in mythology but actually heard by Widmark, one of the brothers. Trials and adventure accrue along the way as they face problems with the crew and weather. They shipwreck on the Moorish coast and are enslaved by the Moorish ruler, a young Poitier, who has also heard about and believes the myth of the bell. A chess match between Widmark & Poitier ensues... I vote worth the watch...
