This would be just an average studio movie but for a clever premise (Mayans flee across the Gulf of Mexico to establish a community in North America) and Yul Brynner's stunning screen presence. Brynner portrays a noble Indian chief as only he could do with tremendous screen presence and boundless charisma. When I first saw the movie, I loved the climactic battle scene but now I relish the human drama in Yul Brynner's character most. One of his best performances!
