Keep a sponge handy to mop the river of blood off the TV, after the movie is completed.
This special film encapsulates some of the higher qualities of human emotion. Far surpassing modern rubbish, the viewer will be entertained and impressed by the rock solid acting, the quality outdoor locations, the meaningful motivation and careful presentation of honorable concepts including love, loyalty, honor, teamwork, patriotism and bravery. It teaches us all many things including a valuable lesson about losing. This film is, in my opinion. more relevant now in today's troubled world than when it was originally published. By adding this important film to your personal library, you will be rewarded both in the historically accurate content and in a rousing and educational platform, that few other films could ever hope to compete with - and better. Richard Egan shines as the believable leader, Leonidas. One can almost feel the ground shaking, under the thundering hooves of the approaching armies. Highly recommended. This leaves later imitations completely in the cold and in the dust. A+
