Factual and fanciful tales of the Nordic warriors known as Vikings
have proven irresistible to filmmakers for nearly a century.
Diverse, prominent actors from Kirk Douglas, Richard Widmark and
Sidney Poitier to Tim Robbins and John Cleese, and noted directors,
including Richard Fleischer, Clive Donner and Terry Jones, have all
lent their talents to Viking-related films. These fourteen essays
on films dealing with the Viking era discuss American, British and
European productions. Analyzed in detail are such films as The
Vikings (1958), The Long Ships (1964), Alfred the Great (1969),
Erik the Viking (1989) and Outlander (2008), as well as a pair of
comic-strip adaptations, the live-action Prince Valiant (1997) and
the animated Asterix and the Vikings (2006). A comprehensive
filmography is also included.
