Breathtaking
A colorful "whirl" thru Cossack life as shown by Taras Bulba. Love, Life, Honor and Faith are all portrayed beautifully in all it's Hollywood splendor. Riveting musical score and an ending like no other!

The Adventures of a Bronx Cossack
Taras Bulba could have been a very good film - possibly even a great one. But Hollywood values killed any chance of that.

The Adventures of a Bronx Cossack, Jui 24 2002
Taras Bulba could have been a very good film - possibly even a great one. But Hollywood values killed any chance of that. Instead, we have a reasonably enjoyable mess of a movie with two outstanding ingredients that rise above the rest - Franz Waxman's rousingly inventive music and a suitably over the top performance by Yul Brynner. As the title character, Brynner looks every inch a Cossack - swaggering and posing like a macho peacock, delivering his lines with that growling accent, and wearing his costumes as though he had lived in them all his life. Brynner was a hugely undervalued actor - a larger than life performer whose presence saved many a film. But the odds were really against him here.Instead of focusing on Brynner, the film makes Tony Curtis, as his son, the central character. Curtis makes absolutely no effort to look like a Cossack so it is not surprising that he doesn't act like one either. While the rest of the Cossacks are swarthy, burly, scalplocked he-men, the sons of Taras Bulba look more like a couple of surfers who have wandered in from the film next door. Worse still is Curtis's love interest - the enemy girl he falls in love and betrays the Cossack Brotherhood for. She is played with wan listlessness by Christine Kaufmann in a performance so wooden it's a wonder Curtis didn't get splinters in their love scenes. Still, in real life, he must have fancied her because he left Janet Leigh to marry her. Even with its insipid love story, Taras Bulba could still have achieved greatness through sheer spectacle. The costume department certainly did their bit - although some of the Polish uniforms are needlessly naff. The music thunders and roars - except for the obligatory love song sung by an oversweetened choir over the equally obligatory sixties montage sequence. Filming in Argentina may have been a good fiscal decision, but it doesn't help the look of the film - pampas are not steppes. Still, there are some exciting and effective sequences, notably the Ride To Dubno during which Brynner's followers grow from a handful to an army. The battles scenes are as lively as the Polish university scenes are dull. Sometimes the scale of the enterprise impresses. But you end up wanting to like the film more than you do. Perhaps the film's uncertain tone is best illustrated by a post-production anecdote. At a pre-release screening, director J. Lee Thompson supposedly turned to Yul Brynner and said: "I still don't see why you had to shoot Tony."

Best movie ever made!, Sep 20 1999
Par Un client
They put alot of work into studying the Cossak tradition, and Ukrainian culture. As a Ukrainian Canadian I am proud of this movie that tells a story of love and hate. You can watch this movie over, and over again. One of the best movies of the Century. Bulba Rocks!

tony tony tony!, Aoû 22 1999
Par Un client
tony curtis and christene kaufmann really devoir each other respectively with their great intuition and looks. I love it when tony curtis fights in swashbuckling movies - he's so atheletic, alete, agile and nice to watch person! Taras bulba does a good job of 'bringing up' such talent in 'Andre bulba'! I give them both ten stars each!

A Brynner and Waxman Showcase, Janv. 5 1999
I thought Yul Brynner gave an excellent performance as the Cossack leader Taras Bulba. The part was made for him. I wish he had been in the film more, and Tony Curtis less. Franz Waxman received his 12th Academy Award nomination for the score. It is great! Although the quality of the film is a bit uneven, it has 'The Ride to Dubno' in it, which is one of the most powerful and striking scenes I have ever seen in a movie. The movie is worth buying just to have that scene.

Good movie. Should be advertized more!!!!!!!!!!, Déc 14 1998
Par Un client
I am a pround ukrainian, and I have seen and read many books on the Ukrainian Cossacks. I think that this Movie was Dead on with Correct Information. I feel that Most Ukrainians Feel Proud that There was a Movie made About there culture, but i do think that there should have been mor puplisism towars this movie. There should also be more people awar about Ukrainians.!
