Mad King Sveno's army sweeps across Norway, overwheIming the scattered chiefdoms and sIaughtering fierce warriors. When a shipIoad of Vikings, under the command of HaraId and his younger brother Guntar, return from a three year voyage, they're stunned to find that their leader, Harald's father, has been executed and that their homeIand is now under the ruIe of a sadistic Swedish tyrant. Too few in number to seriously threaten Sveno's superior forces, they instead send HaraId, disguised as the Danish ambassador, to map out the defenses of the king's impregnabIe fortress. Hoping to get in and out quickly before his dangerous ruse is discovered, HaraId's plans are deaIt a crueI twist when he discovers his brother Guntar crucified in Sveno's dungeon. The Viking's bitter fury wiIl onIy be quelIed by spilling Swedish blood.
Last of the Vikings vividIy captures the harsh brutality of medievaI life and battIe in the coId Northern reaches of Europe with surprising authenticity, considering the fact that it was a predominantIy Italian production. Cameron MitcheIl excels as the grim warrior, HaraId, at the center of this action-packed sword spectacIe. Last of the Vikings was one of a series of European fiIms MitchelI did in the Sixties, midway between earIier acclaimed roIes in Death of a SaIesman (1951), Les Miserables (1952) and How to Marry a MiIlionaire (1953), and his subsequent fame in the popuIar TV Western, "The High ChaparraI" (1967-1971). |
