I've loved this movie since I was a very young child. The music has long been one of my favorite soundtracks, esp. this piece. Was delighted to find it online.
Zaporozci-people from Zaporizhiezhia, the cradle of modern Ukrainians, that is currently occupied partially by Russia, which claims there are no Ukrainians there.
Totally agree with comments below, no cgi, real people, real horses, real mountains (Andes) in the background. What a spectacle! Years ago I had the great pleasure to work with Producer Terry Jones, Jr, (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, among other big credits). I remember driving around with him one day on a movie in the 80's and he shared some stories of working on Taras Bulba as a young 2nd AD. He was riding on the camera car that shot these scenes. Sure we may chuckle at seeing the dirt road (and some tire tracks) but the overall exhilaration of filming hundreds of horsemen galloping at full speed across the "Russian Steppes" (actually the high desert of Argentina near Salta) more than makes up for that oversight. I could kick myself for not writing down what he told me, I just remember him saying the Argentinian army and authorities were great to work with, and also some stories of near disasters with organizing this scene. Naturally the chance for some of the Argentine rank and file to be in a Hollywood movie was too good to be true, they must've had a blast!

Epic movie making. Saw this at the Roosevelt Field theater on LI with my parents the year it opened. My Russian father was moved by his ancestors of the Steppes. Once a Cossack, always a Cossack. And Pop was a Cossack at heart.
This scene makes me think of my Pop and his cousins in Brooklyn and Port Washington, where they grew up and spent summers together. They would do anything for each other, and they did so right to the end of their lives.
I read somewhere a long time ago that this scene was filmed in Argentina and that Argentina loaned many men from it's national army and a lot of volunteers were gathered together with many horses to enable the scene to be made. It was said that they all had a great time doing it.
There is a scene in movie wth Yul talking to his enemy face to face with a gaucho standing in the middle facing the camera and smiling as though mocking the audience.
How well I remember Dad taking us kids to see this when it hit the theaters, and what an impression it made on me, rousing score and all. Thanks for posting this classic sequence!
Never underestimate Ukraine. ZAPAROSHCHI. WE have that sprit again today. The brave soldiers of Ukraine are fighting for freedom, for family. God bless you my freinds.
It's amazing that the Cossacks had such a sophisticated military organization that they could coordinate multiple large units making their rendezvous with perfect timing, with no one unit having to stand around waiting for another unit, all while everybody was at the gallop, in the days before any sort of electronic communications devices existed. Snarky jokes like this one aside, maybe each Cossack war band had hilltop sentries to alert the war band to the approach of allied bands--whose dust clouds could be seen miles away--to which they had pledged mutual aid. Maybe, weeks before the actual march on Dubno, horseback messengers between war bands had spread the word to be at a certain place at a certain time to effect rendezvous. Implausibilities aside, I loved this sequence as a kid and still do.
Dont be fooled by movies, you cant ride a horse this hard and then fight a battle with it. Horse will be winded and as good as dead after a few kilometers of riding this hard. You are right about one thing, they were smart and calculated their battles and chose the spot for the attack making sure their horses were as fresh as possible even delaying battles as long as possible to give them the maximum rest possible,.
Actually its very likely that the kozaks learned their horseback and fighting tactics from the Turkic warriors of the Mongol Horde. The Mongol Horde had very elaborate and effective fighting strategies that made them so successful, and eventually they reached Kyivan-Rus' and killed 90% of the population when they sacked the city. It is this massacre that ended Kyivan-Rus' and dispersed Ukrainian people into rural and semi-nomadic warrior cultures for hundreds of years after. This Mongol massacre likely taught the survivors of proto-Ukraine a new foundational hybrid culture. The depopulation of the Kyivan-Rus' area is likely what caused the rise of Muscovia into modern Russia, because the proto-Muscovite paid tribute to the Mongol Horde and partially allied with them instead of fighting back like the proto-Ukrainians... I guess Ukrainians are still kinda like fight to the death people, while Russians are into imperialism and political games just like back then

I saw Taras Bulba at the theater when I was a little kid. I'd searched for the out-of-print soundtrack album for a few years, finally found a copy and purchased it ($27 stereo, a mono version was a few dollars less). I played it once, recorded it on cassette, listened all the time in my VW. Later, CD soundtrack came out, purchased that too, has one or two tracks different. The Ride to Dubno is a true classic scene.
I read somewhere a long time ago about the making of this film that the producers wanted to actually film it on the Russian steppes but were denied permission by the Russians. IN Argentina, they found countryside that resembled the Russian steppes and filmed it there. To make this ride scene, they had many volunteers from among Argentinians who worked as gauchos as they wanted to do the ride. The Argentinian Government also provided a large number of soldiers from it's army who could ride horses and also helped arrange the provision of horses. Back when this film was made, there was no CGI and there was considerable logistical problems involved with crowd scenes, more especially when large number of horses were also involved. Apparently, also the rumble from the galloping horses could be heard from quite a few miles away and people, not knowing what the noise was, thought that it was big thunderstorms. That's what I read years ago about the making of the film.
Every Father's Day, like today, I think of Pop who was Russian. We saw this movie together with my Ma the year it debuted. He told me that the Cossacks, from whom he was descended on the Steppes of Russia, were the greatest fighters the world has ever seen. I miss you Pop, and our years of hunting together with all of your cousins, who were more brothers than cousins. I learned a lot from all of you.
As soon as the music opened, slow & quiet, I got a chill - loved this as a boy. Real cinema filmed in Argentina w/ horses, talented riders, and landscape available. I wanted to be Yul Brynner. I now have the moustache. The old Popeye cartoon w/ Bluto as “Abu Hassan” has a scene with riders and song similar to this!
This has to be one of my favorite Yul Brenner movies. Probably one of the first movies I have ever seen. They need to make moving movies like this again! Without making up history as they do now.
Stelvis Maximus You don't want to use this movie for historical information. Brynner was born for this role, though. Most movies in the 60s were made for entertainment purposes only. This is one of them. The closest I can think of since then are the "Rocky" movies. They aren't political. The audience can identify with the characters, the fight scenes are exciting, if wildly unrealistic, and you go home without thinking you were cheated by the high price of the ticket. Taras Bulba is like that. It's a "go have some fun at the movies" flick, and you're right, we need more of them.
Except most of this movie is 100% made up. The only truth in it is that the Cossacks did indeed exist, and clashed with the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland a few times between the 16th and 17th century. That's literally it.
@@observer1689 This is a historical fiction. The characters and storyline are made up but the Kozak warriors depicted are a real semi-nomadic army made of Ukrainian people that fought the Polish-Lithuanians, the Muscovites and the Turkish Tatars in real life. They were based in a sich (fortress) on an island in the middle of the Dnipro River. They were all free men but had no wives and were lead by a Hetman (something like an army general-king that led free wild Ukrainians united to fight off the foreign invaders
We all know at the end of the ride that the men will give the horses their reins and go all out, we know this... But still impressive to watch... The logistics of filming this scene were amazing. Hundreds of horses and men which had to be fed 3 times a day... The sabers most men in the scene carried were rubber, you can see them flopping as they wave them. cost and safety was the purpose of this.
No cgi. Most everything had to actually be done. Lots of stunt men on horseback. No flying somersaults and whirling around in the fight scenes. Yul Brynner Sigh. Edit: what great info and back story added in comments about this truly epic scene, and how it was filmed in Argentina, with actual gauchos and Argentine army joining in the ride. What fun that would have been. Thanks to all who made the movie possible.
La película se filmó en la precordillera de la provincia de Salta, en el noroeste de Argentina. Los extras fueron soldados de caballería del Ejército Argentino. Un dato frívolo: La noticia que recorrió el mundo por entonces fue el romance que inició Tony Curtis con Christine Kaufmann, la actriz con la que compartió cartel. The film was filmed in the foothills of the province of Salta, in northwestern Argentina. The extras were cavalry soldiers from the Argentine Army. A frivolous fact: The news that traveled the world at that time was the romance that Tony Curtis began with Christine Kaufmann, the actress with whom he shared the bill.
Está película se filmó en Salta Argentina, por qué no se podía filmar en la zona histórica que era Ucrania por estar en ese momento detrás del telón de acero y los escenarios naturales erab parecidos a Ucrania.
These kozak warriors are not Russian. They are Ukrainian and this real historical army even fought against Muscovy (modern Russia) later after the Polish/Lithuanians fell out of the picture. The Swedish King even allied with the Ukrainian kozaks to fight against Moscow for a while because of the shared ancient Varangian link between Swedish and Ukrainian people. Unfortunately they lost and Ukrainians had to wait til about 1920 to try for independence from the Muscovites again, which also failed quickly until 1991
@@UhtredOfBamburgh You are right, I forgot that they were Ukrainians. The present-day Ukrainians fighting Putin's army are great warriors as was the Cossacks. I hope they defeat the Russians.
The fact that he persuaded six women to marry him plus the fact that last wife was 45 years younger than him and the marriage lasted 12 years until is death, must say something about his sexual ability.
A Fucking glorious piece of cinema history. Anyone if that was Yul on the horse the whole time doing the stunts, it sure looks him having a great time. Today its all stuntmen and CGI.

Molto originale e creativa la sceneggiatura di questa sequenza: le consuete inquadrature (di fronte ai cavalieri, di fianco alla fila dei cavalli, ecc) sono accessorie per l'invenzione di mostrare i gruppi che a mano a mano si aggiungono; così da comunicare il sentimento di una "guerra di popolo". Originali e interessanti anche alcune inquadrature di fianco ai cavalieri, ma all'altezza di corpo e zampe dei cavalli.La ripresa è stata girata da una macchia in corsa e non da un carrello su rotaie, come si nota dai piccoli sobbalzi delle inquadrature dalle strisce parallele sull'erba davanti ai cavalieri.
Steve Haw Ha ha ha. You should learn some history. Ukraine back then did not exist as a state, being part of Russia. The actual name of Ukraine means "frontier region". It was the frontier region of Russia. As for current military operation in Ukraine, all the chief Ukrainian cities in Central, Eastern and Southern parts of the country have been surrounded by Russians. At the moment some 62.000 Ukrainian troops are surrounded in the Donbass region. The reason why Russia did not defeat Ukraine sooner is because Nazi elements in the Ukie military are using civilians as a shield.
@@MrLeo751 Well Mr. Leo. I thought I´d leave it a couple of weeks before I replied to you. Are you still a `proud Russian´? Child murderers and rapists! And don´t give me a history lesson. Kyiv was a major centre of influence and became the centre of Slav christianity in 988, when Moscow was still a swamp.
@@MrLeo751 Moskal mouthpiece how about you learn some history? Zaporozian Sich had autonomy within Polish Commonwelt to the point of waging war against it. Zaporozian state went under Moskal protectorate under their own free will and lastly Ukraine is of course Polish historical land designation.... Nu Moskali na pohybel!
It still gives me emotions. I dream't riding with them "comrades". A true essence of brotherhood. Shakespeare of Henry V said this words: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition;
@@irishjw Ukrainians often think the newer Taras Bulba film twists the kozak warriors into being Russians. In real life these kozaks fought against Muscovy (Russia) in a later historical period after Poland and Lithuanian rule fell out of the picture in Ukraine.
I can imagine that sensation of been between comrades, riding all together against the enemy towards glory.. will ever we experience such feelings? i hope so...
In reality it was much more complicated. Cossacks where mostly infantrymen with small cavalry parties as recon units. Cavalry was too expensive for them. However Hetman Sagaydacny had sacrifice the whole Zaporozian cavalry (3000 men) to win some time for infantry to complete the march and took good position in battle of Khotin.
@@alexandersidorenko9568 yep, i already known that cossacks became mainly horseback units later. In their earlier stages, like zaporozhian cossacks, they fought mainly on foot. My thoughts were on the cavalry ride like that depicted in the movie.
Запорожці! [Ukrainian - zaporotsi; russian - zaparatsi] Zaporozhians in English. Zaporozhzya is located in the southern Ukraine. And Dubno is located in Rivne region in the north-western Ukraine.
Yes, people should understand that these are UKRAINIAN, not Russian Cossacks being portrayed here. Too bad one of them shouts "хорошо!" (in Russian) instead of the Ukrainian equivalent...

Rodada integramente en la provincia de Salta, Argentina, con extras gauchos cabalgando sus magnificos caballos, verdaderos centauros de las pampas. Los gauchos argentinos, los mejores jinetes del mundo.
What are you talking about? Radosław Sikora is Polish historian, why should I believe a Pole, that wrote history on Cossacks? This movie is based on a book, which was written by Nikaloi Gogol. There are also plenty of books about Cossacks in Ukraine and Russia, which proves that Cossacks were fearless, good warriors. They were bandits for Poles, because they didn't want to submit to Poles, didn't want to give their land to Poles, and reject Orthodox faith by taking Catholicism.
Sirring stuff. Actually filmed in Argentina using gaucho cowboys as Ukrainian Cossacks. Yul Brynner had high hopes for this film, but despite some memorable scenes and music, the final version was a big disappontment for him. For the Ukrainian diaspora, this loose interpretation of Gogol's epic story was nevertheless a boon to the sense of national spirit and pride.
@dellotti Argentina actualy it's kind of unbelivable, until 1991 we had no idea ther were Ukrainians anywere beyond borders of fucking USSR. Argentina is Superb. Maradona is the best!!!! And thank you very much for your amazing landskapes.

The sabers most men in the scene carried were rubber, you can see them flopping as they wave them. cost and safety was the purpose of this.
To further complicate matters, the movie was filmed in Cinerama (three screens wrapping around the theater).
I wouldn't want to be the Zulus when this lot arrive at Rorke drift.
All those horses physically shake the mountain that the camera is on! Insane.
No cgi. Most everything had to actually be done. Lots of stunt men on horseback.
No flying somersaults and whirling around in the fight scenes.
Yul Brynner Sigh.
Edit: what great info and back story added in comments about this truly epic scene, and how it was filmed in Argentina, with actual gauchos and Argentine army joining in the ride. What fun that would have been.
Thanks to all who made the movie possible.
I must get this on DVD - loved it when I was a kid .
Always loved the movie. And this song has always stayed with me.
When you're the marshal in Mount and Blade and every lord joins the campaign you just started
ONE OF WAXMANS BEST WITH ORCHESTRA ON FINE FORM
OF course it's your favorite scene -- it may be the best scene ever filmed
This the scene I best remember as kid too.
Watched this movie in 1963 when I was about 8 years age
Brilliant, my ancestors from Eastern Europe!
I call this scene "A gathering of badasses" 'cos they're all keyed up to fight.
Knowing they have a serious grudge against you and seeing this flow over a hill coming at you half a mile away........ .
@@spikespa5208 Right! Heck, I'd leave town if I saw this coming!
the conquerer is the best version and most realistic version of this story....costumes...hair events....all of it...it is an awesome movie...
This 1 2 bring back memories powerful film 🎥 🎞 see it on tv 📺 👌
My favorite scene from this fantastic movie..
La película se filmó en la precordillera de la provincia de Salta, en el noroeste de Argentina. Los extras fueron soldados de caballería del Ejército Argentino. Un dato frívolo: La noticia que recorrió el mundo por entonces fue el romance que inició Tony Curtis con Christine Kaufmann, la actriz con la que compartió cartel.
The film was filmed in the foothills of the province of Salta, in northwestern Argentina. The extras were cavalry soldiers from the Argentine Army. A frivolous fact: The news that traveled the world at that time was the romance that Tony Curtis began with Christine Kaufmann, the actress with whom he shared the bill.
Mi madre, estaba justo en ese hotel.. HOTEL SALTA...
Cuando se filmó esa película...
Se lo cruzaba a ellos cuando desayunaban.. Yo, recién nacido.
some films live with you forever ,this is one of them
È un film, bellissimo, mettetelo completo in italiano, se lo merita!!!!!!! 👍
Está película se filmó en Salta Argentina, por qué no se podía filmar en la zona histórica que era Ucrania por estar en ese momento detrás del telón de acero y los escenarios naturales erab parecidos a Ucrania.
Fantastic music goes well
Not a single phone in sight. Just men living in the moment.
Great movie. Yul Brenner was born in Russia. I am sure he loved playing Taras Bulba.
These kozak warriors are not Russian. They are Ukrainian and this real historical army even fought against Muscovy (modern Russia) later after the Polish/Lithuanians fell out of the picture. The Swedish King even allied with the Ukrainian kozaks to fight against Moscow for a while because of the shared ancient Varangian link between Swedish and Ukrainian people. Unfortunately they lost and Ukrainians had to wait til about 1920 to try for independence from the Muscovites again, which also failed quickly until 1991
@@UhtredOfBamburgh You are right, I forgot that they were Ukrainians. The present-day Ukrainians fighting Putin's army are great warriors as was the Cossacks. I hope they defeat the Russians.
Ditto. He was magnificent, proud actor.
Great Film with the late great Yul Brinner.
Agree,one of his best roles for me
Still gives me chills👍🏾👍🏾🤩
When music is this great, it isn't background any more.
I cant wrap my head around the fact that there is no cossack music in this scene, it is so rich and would fit so well
They were going to Tony Curtis' bachelor party when he married Christine Kaufmann.
Another man who had too many wives.
The fact that he persuaded six women to marry him plus the fact that last wife was 45 years younger than him and the marriage lasted 12 years until is death, must say something about his sexual ability.
@@barbarahoblin5884I see he liked his wedding cake,sick of this model ....next...i bet he,s never seen real happiness
@@barbarahoblin5884Or his bank account lol,if he was happy good luck to him
@@barbarahoblin5884 or his remaining $$$$$
A truly great scene.
this gathering better than all LOTR trilogy
This is the kind of movie I grew up
that rider at 2:04 the way he snaked in to shake Yul's hand - that was some horsemanship
I remember waching the whole film when they broadcast it on British television (BCC1 and BBC2) during the 1980s until the 2000s.
A Fucking glorious piece of cinema history. Anyone if that was Yul on the horse the whole time doing the stunts, it sure looks him having a great time. Today its all stuntmen and CGI.
Allí... Eran todos Gauchos Salteños y con sus propios caballos...
Más los de los Infernales de Güemes (Regimiento 5 de Caballería del Ejército Argentino)
It's also good short film about Taras Bulba for pupils.
One of greatest movies ans scenes! ❤️🔥
The way they REALLY ended "Police Academy VII: Assignment Moscow!"
My most favorite scene since I was a kid
Back when movie soundtracks meant something
the perfect role for yul brinner...epic scene as few can match this feeling!! unfortunately the movie was irregular and the final result was unsatifiying
Shades of The Magnificent Seven as the army grows step by step :-)
Molto originale e creativa la sceneggiatura di questa sequenza: le consuete inquadrature (di fronte ai cavalieri, di fianco alla fila dei cavalli, ecc) sono accessorie per l'invenzione di mostrare i gruppi che a mano a mano si aggiungono; così da comunicare il sentimento di una "guerra di popolo". Originali e interessanti anche alcune inquadrature di fianco ai cavalieri, ma all'altezza di corpo e zampe dei cavalli.La ripresa è stata girata da una macchia in corsa e non da un carrello su rotaie, come si nota dai piccoli sobbalzi delle inquadrature dalle strisce parallele sull'erba davanti ai cavalieri.
Awesome Scene with awesome Music !
The spirit that is giving the Russians a good seeing-to on the battlefield, presently.

Ha ha ha. You should learn some history. Ukraine back then did not exist as a state, being part of Russia. The actual name of Ukraine means "frontier region". It was the frontier region of Russia. As for current military operation in Ukraine, all the chief Ukrainian cities in Central, Eastern and Southern parts of the country have been surrounded by Russians. At the moment some 62.000 Ukrainian troops are surrounded in the Donbass region. The reason why Russia did not defeat Ukraine sooner is because Nazi elements in the Ukie military are using civilians as a shield.
@@MrLeo751 Zaporozhia is in Ukraine, majority of Russia is in Asia.
@@MrLeo751 Well Mr. Leo. I thought I´d leave it a couple of weeks before I replied to you.
Are you still a `proud Russian´? Child murderers and rapists!
And don´t give me a history lesson. Kyiv was a major centre of influence and became the centre of Slav christianity in 988, when Moscow was still a swamp.
@@MrLeo751 Moskal mouthpiece how about you learn some history? Zaporozian Sich had autonomy within Polish Commonwelt to the point of waging war against it. Zaporozian state went under Moskal protectorate under their own free will and lastly Ukraine is of course Polish historical land designation.... Nu Moskali na pohybel!
Como me acuerdo de los saporobsky de pequeño xddd nunca olvide esta escena y me encanta esta pelicula
It still gives me emotions. I dream't riding with them "comrades". A true essence of brotherhood. Shakespeare of Henry V said this words: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition;
I'm of Polish descent but God damn I love this movie!
Filmed in Argentina !
So?
One of Yul's best movies (plus a few more).
"Put Your Faith in Your Sword --- And Your Sword in the Pole!"
Read story Poles caught and burned Taras Bulba alive
@@irishjw Taras Bulba never existed. He was the title of a book by Gogol.
@@peterobbo7512 I never said it was a fact just telling how story ended. As a matter of fact watch the 2009 filmed in Ukraine
@@irishjw OK..My mistake.
@@irishjw Ukrainians often think the newer Taras Bulba film twists the kozak warriors into being Russians. In real life these kozaks fought against Muscovy (Russia) in a later historical period after Poland and Lithuanian rule fell out of the picture in Ukraine.
I can imagine that sensation of been between comrades, riding all together against the enemy towards glory.. will ever we experience such feelings? i hope so...
In reality it was much more complicated. Cossacks where mostly infantrymen with small cavalry parties as recon units. Cavalry was too expensive for them. However Hetman Sagaydacny had sacrifice the whole Zaporozian cavalry (3000 men) to win some time for infantry to complete the march and took good position in battle of Khotin.
@@alexandersidorenko9568 yep, i already known that cossacks became mainly horseback units later.
In their earlier stages, like zaporozhian cossacks, they fought mainly on foot.
My thoughts were on the cavalry ride like that depicted in the movie.
@@pietroricco7572 that is a bit close to reality ruclips.net/video/542XpqBy4kY/видео.html
Запорожці! [Ukrainian - zaporotsi; russian - zaparatsi] Zaporozhians in English.
Zaporozhzya is located in the southern Ukraine. And Dubno is located in Rivne region in the north-western Ukraine.
Yes, people should understand that these are UKRAINIAN, not Russian Cossacks being portrayed here. Too bad one of them shouts "хорошо!" (in Russian) instead of the Ukrainian equivalent...
@@donaldcarletonjr.9047 Ukrainian "Dobre" sounds very similar to Polish "Dobrze". Still, it would sound better, I agree.
Está secuencia es una de las mejores del cine
Nunca se va a poder juntar a tanta cantidad de jinetes y caballos reales... (Gauchos Salteños, cada uno con sus propio Caballo) y los del Regimiento Infernales de Güemes...
Flippin eck this is one hell of a way to start a fight with your kin at your side!!
Це прекрасний фільм, з деяким мінусом для Голлівуду, якого не дуже цікавлять деталі, історія, тощо, головне екшн, запорожці, це Українці, Тарас Бульба, Українець, головний герой однойменного роману Українського письменника Миколи Гоголя, і у цьому шедеврі Української літератури дійсно показаний незламний дух Українського народу, який підтверджується сьогодні боротьбою за свободу, за демократію, за правду проти рашистських нацистів Московії путіна, але перемога буде за Україною, Слава Україні, слава вільним народам, геть тиранію
oh dont be silly it's the ukies who are racist,brainwashed fool
THRILLING,HEART POUNDING!💀
This is Argentina and the horsemen are Argentine
Rodada integramente en la provincia de Salta, Argentina, con extras gauchos cabalgando sus magnificos caballos, verdaderos centauros de las pampas. Los gauchos argentinos, los mejores jinetes del mundo.
Pensar que los actores son lo que pidieron haber sido los "gauchos de Güemes"
Se filmó en Salta, Argentina
Jajajajaja nooo pueee los gauchos de guemes estuvieron en el 1800 y de ahi al 1900 hay casi casi 100 años
Creo que has querido decir: "Pudieron haber sido"...
Y si... Efectivamente, así le pelearon a los Españoles...
@@MartinaViktoria siEflos extras... E
Esos extras, en su gran mayoría... Eran Gauchos Salteños y Jujeños... Cada uno traía sus caballos.
If only fighting was always this cool.
What are you talking about? Radosław Sikora is Polish historian, why should I believe a Pole, that wrote history on Cossacks? This movie is based on a book, which was written by Nikaloi Gogol. There are also plenty of books about Cossacks in Ukraine and Russia, which proves that Cossacks were fearless, good warriors. They were bandits for Poles, because they didn't want to submit to Poles, didn't want to give their land to Poles, and reject Orthodox faith by taking Catholicism.
Mostly correct
Sirring stuff. Actually filmed in Argentina using gaucho cowboys as Ukrainian Cossacks. Yul Brynner had high hopes for this film, but despite some memorable scenes and music, the final version was a big disappontment for him. For the Ukrainian diaspora, this loose interpretation of Gogol's epic story was nevertheless a boon to the sense of national spirit and pride.
Más o menos de 1.000 a 1.500 Gauchos y los del Ejército Argentino... Con sus propios Caballos...
@dellotti Argentina actualy it's kind of unbelivable, until 1991 we had no idea ther were Ukrainians anywere beyond borders of fucking USSR. Argentina is Superb. Maradona is the best!!!! And thank you very much for your amazing landskapes.
Metete a Maradona en el culo imbecil. tenemos mejores valores que ese gordo enano drogadicto!!!
After WW2 some immigrated to Brazil, perhaps also to Argentina.
Hay muchos Emigrantes Ukranianos, Rusos, Croatas, Serbios...
No se, como no se armó la 3° Guerra Mundial aquí...??😮😮😮
Another great film
One of Tony Curtis' best films !
