Radio announcer Marvin Miller as Genghis Khan. And that's how he plays it. With that delivery, I expect him to promote Signal Oil and tell us about next week's episode of The Whistler.
Entertaining in a set-your-brain-in-neutral sort of way. Great costumes & a beautiful leading lady (she was also in the musical "Kismet", which has a similar exotic setting).
this film is completely false before the Mongol invasion the lands of the Golden Horde they had a European appearance after the Mongol invasion they became like Asians and the descendants of the Golden Horde created a new kingdom called the Kazakh Khandygs now this is Kazakhstan in the film the soldiers must wear light armor because this is Asia and not European armor better read history than see this false movie
She would come to my Bosses Salon. She was beautiful inside and out. It was in the mid 1990's I asked her so many questions. She was so graceful and kind.
fun fact friends---sometimes if you click to the very end of the movie--and then click back to start-sometimes you will fool the add server to think the movies over-therefore no adds-worth a shot ? hmm?
Wasn't the actor who played Genghis Khan was also the main character in the 1950's TV series "The Millionaire" called Michael Anthony? Marvin Miller, that is the actor's name.
I was just going to write that. I didn't remember his name Michael Anthony, but I do remember his wealthy boss's name John Beresford Tipton! I can't tell you the Three Laws of Thermodynamics, but I can remember that. What a brain.
A great movie. Very entertaining. These post WW2 movies were devoid of actual facts or history. I loved the lack of facts. The Muslim women in high heels, uncovered, drinking alcohol and with blonde hair! English knights in Persia? Never happened. Mongols being schooled in military tactics? Samarkand was conquered by Genghis Khan. I thought the Persians working with Christian knights was strange. English knights were in the Holy Land during this time mostly along the coast Antioch and Tyre area. That is about a thousand miles away. Longbows were not carried by knights. Mongol compound bows were actually more powerful. It was very entertaining. I had to ignore my knowledge of history while watching. Richard Egan was the right hand man of Crusader commander. Richard Egan's most famous role was Leonidas in the cult classic "The 300 Spartans."
Darrell Stanley, I liked it too. It was for entertainment. I didn't see anywhere that claimed it was a documentary. I like Hercules and Sinbad too and there are those who will also probably complain about those movies not being realistic.

Doubt the scriptwriters and director did much research on the subject before its release! I have to wonder why people spent money to watch Hollywood stuff like this. TV not affordable for most is probably the answer. Thanks for posting though,
Good movie..but I often wonder why not one of all the people that were involved in making it couldn't see the silliness at 24:35....having a conversation in the middle of a fight for your lives. Good thing his cell didn't go off.
Of course they did . They were not (all) stupid. But the Hollywood "studio sytem" was still very much in effect in 1951. The performers were all under contract and did what they were told; or else. So they read their idiotic lines as written by the hack screenwriters and went home and cashed their pay checks. After all it was still better than getting a "real job"(lol) . Rebellling vs stupid movies was limited to the A-list Superstars of their day, like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford- and even they had to watch their mouths...
Another wonderful tradition is the main hero having received mortal wound but still speechifying for 10 minutes with sun setting in the background. At least they don’t sing anymore in the movies. I was really surprised that Spielberg couldn’t resist in private Ryan. While all secondary characters drop like flies, Hanks finds strength to give a cheesy speech even though tank just blew in I’m his face.
Genghis Khan and his Empire were Kazakhs (Turk) . Russians in the 19th and 20th centuries rewrote the entire history of the Kazakhs and made Genghis Khan a Mongol artificially. 1. The army of Genghis Khan consisted of Naimans, Kerey, Merkits, Kiyats, Zhalayyrs and other tribes. These tribes are currently part of the Kazakhs. Khalkha has no such tribes. Genghis Khan himself was from the Kiyat clan. These are Kazakh tribes. His wife is from the Konyrat family. Konyrats are a Kazakhskok tribe. Currently they live in the south of Kazakhstan. 2. All the names of Genghis Khan's ancestors are Turkic: Barin-Shiratu, Menen-Tudun, Hacha-Kuluk, Kaidu, Tumbinai, Kabul Khan, Bortan-Baatur, Targitai, Yesugei. The names of his brothers, sisters, close relatives and next three generations, again Turkic: Hasar, Temulun, Tempe, Zhoshy, Batu, Bereke, Siobhan, Chagatai, Mutagen, Asento, Baydar, Ogedei, Tolui, Kuyuk, Ari-bug, Cartacci Bayan, Barack, Tokta, etc. 3. And why the words that were in use in the administration and everyday life in the Empire of Genghis Khan, in the vast majority of the Turkic root? 4. And why even the capital of imperial Mongolia "Karakorum" had an obviously ancient Turkic name: "Great City/ capital"?
I bet in it`s time this was a Major Hit !! Oh sure, It`s not got the grit of today's standard, But It`s worth watching >> Thank You !! = I`ts Entertaining !!
Then that is Richard Egan. The man who later played Xerxes looks a lot different here than he later looked in the 300 Spartans. It is his voice that initially clued me who he was.
Straight out of Hollywood lol however the Crusaders did ally with the Mongols when they reached the Levant to invade Syria, Egypt, then in the battle of ain jalut Qutuz & Baibars defeated the Mongols and their mercenary crusaders. Crusaders never reached samarkant or bukhara what a joke lol
All art is at once symbol and surface. Those who see the surface are shallow. Those you go beyond the surface do so at their own peril.. All art is quite useless.
The .ost important point about this film is the bief that all great historical figures spoke with a polished powerful authoritve upper class aristocratic british accent and not an uneducated sloppy substandard working class American accent/// fantastic
So that the "men" would all be pussies, the women femnazis, and the "Englishmen" all on their knees, apologizing for their "white privilege"? Oh, and the Kamuks all transgenders? NO THANK YOU!
The crusaders, being European, look more or less like one would expect them to loo. The princess and other Persians do not look as Persians look. Among the Mongols only the one playing Genghis Khan is made to look somewhat like someone from the far East, and perhaps like a Mongol. But this is Hollywood, and an entertaining flic...not history.
This flick made for an English-speaking audience employed actors who had to speak good English. I guess in 1951 there weren't many English speaking Persian or Mongol actors in Hollywood who could act well, so the look alike part represented by costumes was left to the imagination of the audiences. I'm sorry you feel butt hurt about it. If there was a Mongol Actors' Union 65 years ago in Hollywood things like this would been avoided.
sorry, but Samarkand was completely destroyed by mongols. the golden horde was invented some hundred years after by a neveu of the great khan in the area what now is called Crimea. as somebody else said, is Hollywood I will add of 1950's
the grand son name was Batu son of the first borne of Genghis Khan killed on the orders of his father (Genghis) by Tsubotai, the Ogeday (son of Genghis) khan's general who brought the Mongol's hordes farthest in Europe. "Unfortunately" he was stopped by the death of Ogeday and obliged to return home (Mongol's custom) to elect and swear submission to the new khan.
He retired in 1962. After the death of his wife Irene in 1976, he moved to South Africa to be with their daughter, Barbara. He died on 31 August 1995 in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, 10 days after his 87th birthday.
Thank you for posting. I've been looking for this film ever since I found out the music from this film was used in King Kong vs. Godzilla!

Great movie! Thank you!!
Very nice movie. Thanks Chris \johnson and the Tube.
Don't thank RUclips. It's a huge money grab that treats us like dirt!

Send in 6 box tops along with a self addressed stamped envelope and get your free decoder ring.
He also played the role of providing the check for one million dollars in the tv series " The Millionaire," in the 1950's.
What was not featured in this Hollywood recreation was the famed Mongol recurved bow which was more powerful than the English longbow.
Thanks for the great movie
Entertaining in a set-your-brain-in-neutral sort of way. Great costumes & a beautiful leading lady (she was also in the musical "Kismet", which has a similar exotic setting).
And very handsome second lead (Richard Egan)....
I think Howard Keel played the male lead in " Kismet."
Thank you for the upload.
Sir Guy is freaking awesome! He has the cool guy charisma that modern men are so scared to exude, for fear of Twitter...
Does that include Elon Musk,as well,he " bought " Twitter,renamed it" X." Being sarcastic.

many thanks for this classic.
After a good run in British films,David Farrar went to Hollywood and was never the same again.Henry Brandon was Scar in The Searchers.
Ann Blyth is still one of the top 10 most beautiful women on this planet!
Ann Blyth who? Maybe in your planet.
She would come to my Bosses Salon. She was beautiful inside and out. It was in the mid 1990's
I asked her so many questions.
She was so graceful and kind.
@@Ackerman_77 Thank you for that story. It is really awesome but somehow I am not at all surprised. Cheers from Toronto
Absolutely and she has something long lost to current female actresses'. ...
Class. She has class.
Early and interesting historical costume drama. If you have been to Death Valley, you will recognize the landscape. Great music by Hans J. Salter.
Spent some time placing Anne Blyth. A delicate graceful actress.
I love classical movies please give me some more😃😃😃😃😊😊😊🖒🖒
These movies are great!
Thank You for Uploading. I like watching these movies, back when Hollywood knew how to make Good Movies.
That was great!
Very good movie, thans for sharing!!!Keep giving us movies alike!!!
I had to slam a lil crank to stay awake.. but once it kicked in I was able to watch, partake, enjoy the film strip

At least it's not John Wayne as Genghis Khan....
True. I like John Wayne but it was the wrong role.
I didn't know that Klingon was already here on Earth and their face are not yet fully develop. lol
Wasn't the actor who played Genghis Khan was also the main character in the 1950's TV series "The Millionaire" called Michael Anthony? Marvin Miller, that is the actor's name.
The actor was Marvin Miller.
Very Good, he was indeed. I watched the Millionaire every week growing up. He was also the voice of Robbie the Robot in Forbidden Planet.
John Barefords Tipton
Mike I want you take a letter.
I was just going to write that. I didn't remember his name Michael Anthony, but I do remember his wealthy boss's name John Beresford Tipton! I can't tell you the Three Laws of Thermodynamics, but I can remember that. What a brain.
David Farrar was the male lead in the 1947 British film Black Narcissus.
I hope all the players were well compensated. I think Ann Blyth is still traveling on Spaceship Earth.
Great movie ,great legends
Thanks. Great movie.
thanks
Amazing movie
set aside the politics. too complicated. nice fight scenes. But hey, watching the credits, any film with Poodles Hanneford has got to be good ! ;-)

@ChaosTrident Agreed--it is for entertainment and no need to be mean. We all have different tastes--not good or bad--just different
yup the muslim women don't dress that way today
@Darrel
Along with your other historical facts you fail to mention - what year was the movie made, that Egan did play Leonidis?
@@wallytverstol8627
Muslim women "dress"?
Good fairytale. Thanx
This makes John Wayne's "The Conqueror" look like a documentary!
Lmao
Nice movie.
Geo Macready was a great villain. The TV show The Millionaire had an obsequious helper here Khan with Geo as helper/counselor. Role reversal error.

Me encanta esses películas , pero en ESPAÑOL.
Doubt the scriptwriters and director did much research on the subject before its release! I have to wonder why people spent money to watch Hollywood stuff like this. TV not affordable for most is probably the answer. Thanks for posting though,
In 1951, nobody had color TV yet...or cable
Decent movie actually.
Damn, in the opening scene - is that the scenery - aka - the rock formation that is in the Star Trek episode - where Kirk fights the Lizard Gorn?
I thought that.The rock formation seems to turn up in lots of tv n films.
a pity the lizard didn't turn up in this film,it would have fit right in.
Golden horde became Muslim under barka Khan
Quality stuff

I see a combination of Biggles, Dudley Do-Right, and cheese.
It just occurs to me that the man who plays the leader of the English knights in this film also played as Xerxes in "The 300 Spartans."

Then that is Richard Egan. The man who later played Xerxes looks a lot different here than he later looked in the 300 Spartans. It is his voice that initially clued me who he was.

Note also those who were cast in non-speaking roles such as the dancers were Mongol or Chinese.
There were Asian Americans who might have played Mongols. After all, they used Afro-Americans to play Africans in those old tarzan movies.
I saw old Tarzan movies where they used white people to play Africans. Unwatchable even at ten yrs old...
