The Vikings (1958)
BBC2 knows how to put an Easter Sunday afternoon together. In an uncrowded field, this 1958 production from Richard Fleischer remains perhaps cinemaâs best ever Viking movie, stirringly shot in the Norwegian fjords and scored to a swashbuckling earworm. Kirk Douglas is the wrathful Einar â missing an eye after his half-brother Eric (Tony Curtis) set a falcon on him. Ernest Borgnine is the dread King Ragnar, while Janet Leigh is the Welsh princess whose beauty sets the half-brothers on a destructive collision course. Fleischer had few equals for colourful entertainment in this period, and this story of a Norse invasion of Northumbria offers all the longship action, gruesome demises and dark-ages derring-do that your inner child could ever hope to see.
