The Dryden will screen The Vikings (Richard Fleischer, U.S. 1958, 114 min., 35mm) as part of the Ernest Borgnine series.

Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, and Ernest Borgnine star in perhaps the finest and most rousing Viking adventure movie ever made. The story concerns the rivalry between a Viking leader (Douglas) and a slave (Curtis) when they both lay claim to a captured English princess (Leigh). One of the most beautiful films ever shot by famed cinematographer Jack Cardiff, who used the widescreen Technirama frame and stunning locations in Norway and Brittany to their full advantage.
