Anecdotes:

Another rare movie where star Yul Brynner (in a few 'time lapsing' brief scenes) has a full head of hair.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The cossacks' "scalp-lock" is not on the back but the front! Only the old cossack is the one that has it correctly. Also Yul Brynner's scalp-lock is very unnatural. It looks like a pony tail and it has too much hair for being only the remaining hair from shaving the rest of the head.

Guillemet:

Abbot: Remove your cassock and prostate yourself.

Version of Tarass Boulba (1936)

Abundance of mass scenes

This was one of the first movies I've ever seen; and as a child I was deeply impressed by both the story and the spectacular horse riding. Nowadays these mass scenes, of which you'll see an abundance of like in no other film, would be generated in a computer. Back then they were made possible by the Argentinian cavalry. Though the film lacks the extra touch that would put it on a par with "Love and War", Yul Brynner is outstanding and inimitable. The story bears the stamp of the inevitable catastrophe of a Russian drama, but it hasn't been worked out by the script writers as it should have been.
