| Time OutDerek AdamsAn immensely interesting though finally unsuccessful film. |
| VarietyVariety StaffDouglas Sirk's direction of the excellent script catches the sweep of the period portrayed without letting the characters get lost in spectacle. |
| User ReviewDavid HA Great Monumental Movie with a fantastic Battle, Great Reqisites, Great Actors and a fascinating Story it also shows how dumb are War and Destruction, how the Christinay has saved Lives and spread Peace before it turns around and take Lives and spread War and how dumb and superstitious Barbarians are they turn around even though they can conquest Rome and their Stoppers are unarmed Christians just of their Fear from their God |
| User ReviewPrivate Uthe best film of jack palance! though politically incorrect at some scenes, palance captured his audience in an enthralling portrayal of the scourge of god. |
| User ReviewPaul CTypical Hollywood historical abomination but enjoyable nonetheless with Palance having a ball as the King Of The Huns. For all his faults though, Attila still has better qualities than the back-stabbing Romans and you cant help rooting for him. |
| User ReviewSteve S** (out of four) Jack Palance plays Atilla the Hun as he tries to conquer the divided Roman Empire. But, two things mar his way...the beautiful Princess Pulcheria (Ludmilla Tcherina) and the fearless Marcian (Jeff Chandler). Can Palance stop the spread of christianity? What do you think? |
