Very simple lives, better than these days

That stirring music makes me want to launch my Viking raiding boat and head west for adventure!

I took up archery and taught myself how to throw an axe after watching this! Real life skills !

Fjord Horse in action!!!

67 years old here and still watch this movie on DVD as I have for over a decade. I first watched it as a young school boy in the mid 1960's and fascinated of it since then.

A great movie but I am at a loss as to why this is the best scene ever.

All these scenes with the viking ships and in the viking village were shot at the Walchen lake in Bavaria/Germany, which proved to be a really good stand-in for a Norwegian fjord, since these ship replicas were actually not sea-going. Apart from that this had the advantage that stars and crew didn't have to waive any comfort since their hotel in nearby Munich was only an hour drive away. Only a short mood setting helicopter shot during the pre-credits was actually shot in a Norwegian fjord by a second unit camera team. Kind regards from Germany ! Later addition: Hello, welchpete12 ! Do you mean the goat falls at Redfish lake in Idaho ?! Yes, I admit, the scenery looks very similar. But in fact the movie was completely shot in Europe. I just googled the locations again: The battle scenes were done at Fort La Latte in Normandy/France. Some very brief establishing shots at the beginning of the movie were also done by a second unit camera team in the Hardanger fjord in Norway and the Lim fjord in Croatia. But all the scenes with the sailing viking ships as said at the Walchen lake ( "Walchen See" in German, you can google some photos of it ), a lake at above 800m in the Bavarian Alpes, an hour drive away from Munich. Because of his good wind conditions it is a popular resort for sport sailing. All these different scenes were then perfectly coppled together in the editing room. But as said since these ship replicas were not actually seagoing it would have been to risky to film.them at a real seaside. Also if one looks at the water surface in this footage, one can quite easily see, that it is too calm.and the waves too small to have been filmed at a real seaside. To give another proof that the movie was filmed nearby Munich I ask you to google for a documentary of the German television about the German actor, Joachim Fuchsberger, who had died a few years ago and was quite popular with the German audiences since his rise as a movie star in the 50s. ( I guees, he remained completely unknown outside of Germany,.) The title of the docu is : "Legenden - Joachim Fuchsberger" ( please, type in that title !) In the fifties he lived in his house in Munich-Grünwald and in the summer of 1958 he recieved there the visit of his famous actor colleagues from Hollywood, Kirk Douglas & Tony Curtis, who had visited him during a break making 'The Vikings'. From 8:35 to 8:45 one can get a short glimpse at Curtis & Douglas, clearly recognizable with their hairdos and in Curtis' case the beard, which they had to grow for making 'The Vikings'. Fuchsberger had filmed them with his own home camera relaxing in his garden in München-Grünwald. Sorry, that I couldn't provide you with a link by myself. But each time I try it my post will be deleted at the spot, I don't know why. Thank you very much for responding to my post and once again kind regards !

"Ah Värmeland, you beauty"

From the 2:20 to the 3:40 in this theme song and epic story. An Vikings mystique sound resonates to my core for a minute and 20-seconds. I would play this to my Stanford son as a young schoolboy to get him up, ready and go off to school. It’s haunted him in a dreamy Scandinavian way ever since and me, too. Note: The tune played when Ragnar sails home through the fjord is a west-Swedish ballad called "Ack Värmland, du sköna".

Borgnine’s last marriage, Norwegian-born Tova Traesnaes in 1973, and lasted until his death at 95 in July 2012. Yup, in 2012… Kirk Douglas was 96 years old, the Viking Son was older than the Viking father (-:. Douglas passed away on February 5th, 2020 at 103-years old. Viking’s legends live on.

I was 15 when this movie came out. Very impressed with that theme.

Riiiicccooolllaaa

Guessing whoever put this together had waaay too much coffee and crack prior.

any one ever seen the reported scene of Kirk and some on else on the ship with a modern wrist-watch on his arm? Post It here & Let me Know, Thanx

Great Movie for 1958....

You're not wrong.

I WAS THAT TOME 15 YEARS OLD. "VERY NICE MOVIE

Some fab films made around that time.

Absolutely agree.

Obra maestra del cine Por desgracia ya no hacen films asi

They used this song in a documentary about the movie Ben - Hur. Two other legendary movie stars from that era played in it. Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd. The documentary is on youtube. I always loved this song.!

An absolute classic should be on TV at Xmas instead of the usual rubbish

Kirk Douglas they don't make actors like that anymore

what a mess. the video is incomplete and has other video interfering. Too bad.

If that music doesn't make your spirit soar then you're already dead.

Yeah. This is a great movie with a great theme. One thing - for whatever it's worth - is the TV Show Vikings had characters based on these guys to some degree. And to some degree - these guys were historical characters. One other thing is that two of the stars of this movie - Tony Curtiss and Janet Leigh - were Jaime Leigh Curtiss' parents. I don't know if this movie had anything to do with that or not. .

You came here for 2:17

Great flick. Pity about the ‘stars’.

Tan hermosa que eran y reales las películas antiguas...

Best scene out of the whole movie is the duel on the at the end of the movie.

I've sailed up there a couple of times , but wish I did it back then , un spoilt. one of the greatest movies ever made.

best viking film and music ever ❤

Bellissimo

We have a bar here in Denver. It used to be called the Tap Inn but they changed the name to The Viking. It sits right in the middle of Denver's old Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. When I was in high school before I was old enough to consume alcohol, after work (and I was only 16) we would use our Metropolitan State College of Denver fake ID's to drink there. Lots of gash in there too. ua-cam.com/video/Ut5Sqyk9lBg/v-deo.html

Film Fact , on screen borgine the Father , Douglas the son ,Curtis the son , True life Borgine Born 1917 , Douglas Born 1916 , Curtis Born 1925 ,,,Hail Ragnor ,..

2:18 -- I'm pretty sure you can only get one note out of a horn like that. But certainly note a melody, like we hear several seconds after he first sounds the thing. I guess the filmmakers thought that would be too boring for the audience.

Cuando el Cine era Arte ❤❤

This was like a Colour Viking Comic Book .... But I Love It!

Właśnie obejrzałem ten potężny film...

If that was the best scene, I would hate to see the worst

I watched this movie on 27th November 1959 when I was 8years with my elder brother still remember

Love the scenery, but casting Kirk Douglass as a man in his early-20s is hard to believe.

Ragnar going into the pit of wolves was a good bit.
