(1963) Vladimir Medar, Jean-François Poron, George Reich, Hugo Santana, Lorella De Luca. A very obscure sword & sandal thriller. Cossack chief Taras Bulba plans to subdue Poland and its Tartar allies. He sends his sons to study in the Polish city of Dubno to learn as much as possible about the Polish people and their military strength. One of the sons, however, falls for the daughter of a Polish governor. When the Cossacks lay siege to Dubno, the son is imprisoned; but he soon escapes and returns to his father. What ensues is kind of a Romeo and Juliet scenario with lots of well-staged action sequences. Lots of excitement and court intrigue. Aka Taras Bulba, il Cosacco. Pretty cool stuff. Color, from 16mm.
