The sure-handed direction of Schaffner and the credible performances of Heston et al are well complemented by Morross's driving, Stravinsky-like score.

Rating: 2/5 --
Lumbering sword and shield tale with Heston.

Rating: 3/4 --
An intelligent historical drama, exciting and atmospheric while never losing sight of the human passions that are its driving force.

TV Guide
Heston is more convincing in his battle scenes than in romancing Rosemary Forsyth, but nevertheless delivers a hard-hitting performance.
