Taras Bulba - Spain Import
M**D
A movievery much of its time.
Something brought this movie to my mind recently and I haven't seen it since I was about 9 years old but I had enjoyed it then. I didn't even know it was in colour. I didn't even look at the sleeve, just put it straight into the device and was surprised when the menu came up - it was in Spanish. Fortunately I speak a little and was able to navigate through it and watch the movie. It's a movie very much of it's time, the early 60's, or even an earlier era. The special effects are woeful though the scenery is breathtaking. However if you are 9 years old it would still be exciting. They say you should never revisit the scene of a happy childhood holiday and I think the same applies to movies.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY
Well, I'm gutted! I suppose it weren't going to be long before I got stung eventually!Very inferior quality for the price! I have paid half the price for official releases before now.The appearance of this disc's laser burn is just what I would expect from a domestic DVD writer. The scene selector looks like something created in a domestic video editing program. The menu is surrounded by a cheap looking hammered gold bar, and to make things even worse, there is sound loss during the 'Cossack Drinking song'- scene 4, which was infuriating.Not a very happy chappy!

Great film
An excellent film, which I have watched several times over the years on TV. Finally able to own my own copy. Plenty of action, but in accordance with the era of its production not much gore. Some good historical fact, mixed with a believable storyline. Well worth watching.
