The Vikings was an action/adventure film directed
by Richard Fleischer in 1958, produced by and
starring Kirk Douglas, and based on the novel The
Viking by Edison Marshall. Other actors included
Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh , Ernest Borgnine and
Frank Thring. The film made notable use of natural
locations in Norway, crisply captured on film by
cinematographer Jack Cardiff.
The King of Northumbria is killed during a Viking
raid led by the fearsome Ragnar (Ernest Borgnine).
Because the king had died childless, his cousin
Aella (Frank Thring) takes the throne. The king's
widow, however, is pregnant with what she knows is
Ragnar's child, and to protect the infant from her
cousin-in-law's ambitions, she sends him off to
Italy. By a twist of fate, the ship is intercepted
by the Vikings, who are unaware of the child's
kinship, and enslave him. The boy grows into a
young man named Erik (Tony Curtis).
His parentage is finally discovered by Lord Egbert
(James Donald), a Northumbrian nobleman opposed to
Aella. When Aella accuses him of treason, Egbert
finds sanctuary with Ragnar in Norway. Egbert
recognizes the Northumbrian royal sword's pommel
stone on an amulet around Erik's neck, placed
there by Erik's mother when he was a child. Egbert
tells no one.
Erik incurs the wrath of his half-brother Einar
(Kirk Douglas), Ragnar's legitimate son and heir,
after the former orders his falcon to attack
Einar, taking out one of his eyes. Erik is saved
from immediate execution when the tribal shaman
says that Odin will curse whoever kills him. He is
left in a tidal pool to drown with the rising
tide, but after he calls out to Odin, the wind
shifts and forces the water away, saving him.
Egbert then claims him as his slave. Egbert hopes
to find an opportunity to take advantage of Erik's
unknown claim to the Northumbrian kingdom.
The enmity between the Erik and Einar is
exacerbated when they both fall in love with
Princess Morgana (Janet Leigh), who was to marry
King Aella but is captured in a raid suggested by
Egbert. Using a primitive compass, Erik and
Morgana flee to England, with Einar and Ragnar in
pursuit. In thick fog, Ragnar's longboat hits a
rock and sinks. Einar, in another longboat,
believes Ragnar to be dead and grudgingly abandons
the chase. Ragnar, however, is rescued by Erik and
taken prisoner to Aella.
Aella orders the Viking leader bound and thrown
into a pit filled with starved wolves. To give
Ragnar a Viking's death (so that he could enter
Valhalla), Erik, who is granted the honor of
forcing him into the pit, cuts the prisoner's
bonds and gives him his sword. Laughing, Ragnar
jumps to his death. In response to Erik's
"treason", Aella cuts off his left hand, puts him
back on his ship and casts him adrift.
