Little known fun facts : Did you know ? All the scenes with the viking ships and in the viking village were shot at the Walchen lake in Bavaria/Germany, which proved to be a really good stand-in for a Norwegian fjord, since these ship replicas were actually not sea-going. Apart from that this had the advantage that stars and crew didn't have to waive any comfort since their hotel in nearby Munich was only an hour drive away. Only a short mood setting helicopter shot during the pre-credits was actually shot in a Norwegian fjord by a second unit camera team. Kind regards from Germany ! Later addition: Hello, welchpete12 ! Do you mean the goat falls at Redfish lake in Idaho ?! Yes, I admit, the scenery looks very similar. But in fact the movie was completely shot in Europe. I just googled the locations again: The battle scenes were done at Fort La Latte in Normandy/France. Some very brief establishing shots at the beginning of the movie were also done by a second unit camera team in the Hardanger fjord in Norway and the Lim fjord in Croatia. But all the scenes with the sailing viking ships as said at the Walchen lake ( "Walchen See" in German, you can google some photos of it ), a lake at above 800m in the Bavarian Alpes, an hour drive away from Munich. Because of his good wind conditions it is a popular resort for sport sailing. All these different scenes were then perfectly coppled together in the editing room. But as said since these ship replicas were not actually seagoing it would have been to risky to film.them at a real seaside. Also if one looks at the water surface in this footage, one can quite easily see, that it is too calm.and the waves too small to have been filmed at a real seaside. To give another proof that the movie was filmed nearby Munich I ask you to google for a documentary of the German television about the German actor, Joachim Fuchsberger, who had died a few years ago and was quite popular with the German audiences since his rise as a movie star in the 50s. ( I guees, he remained completely unknown outside of Germany,.) The title of the docu is : "Legenden - Joachim Fuchsberger" ( please, type in that title !) In the fifties he lived in his house in Munich-Grünwald and in the summer of 1958 he recieved there the visit of his famous actor colleagues from Hollywood, Kirk Douglas & Tony Curtis, who had visited him during a break making 'The Vikings'. From 8:35 to 8:45 one can get a short glimpse at Curtis & Douglas, clearly recognizable with their hairdos and in Curtis' case the beard, which they had to grow for making 'The Vikings'. Fuchsberger had filmed them with his own home camera relaxing in his garden in München-Grünwald. Sorry, that I couldn't provide you with a link by myself. But each time I try it my post will be deleted at the spot, I don't know why. Thank you very much for responding to my post and once again kind regards !

The Long Ships was another great Viking movie 🎥 and least Richard Widmark was of Viking descent

Orson Welles was great narrator 😊

I remember this song fondly as it was on the b side of The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine I think it was released around the mid 70s and im pretty sure it made number 1.

Very touching Viking funeral.. Best movie IMO. And the haunting score is unforgettable.

Chaplin was a genius. But he couldn’t surpass this.

great video

I have never heard of AL Bowlly until I bought the British singer: RICHARD THOMPSON - who makes reference to AL Bowlly in his music. I never even looked up Al Bowlly until today March 2024 what a treat. He;s soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wonderful! what I have mmissed in my life!

WE used to sing a slightly ruder version at the rugby club NOT for You Tube publication though 😮👍👏👏👏

For me, Kirk Douglas's best movie .. and my all-time favourite. 😊

Hey Kirk And Tony Fight Scene The Greatest Of All Times Legendary 💗🙏

😅😅😅😂😂❤❤❤

Roy sang this at The City Varieties in Leeds for a Good Old Days recording during the 1980s. A wonderful song and such a fine rendition.

I Have a Question Munsters And Adams Family Both Same Universe ?

Wonderful!!

I lived near an air force base in Canada, exotic aircraft were common to see and my Dad was a airplane nut who told me about all the new planes not yet in service....but when I watched the news in 1982 and saw a Harrier stop in mid-air and drop to the deck of a carrier my mind was blown! How did we not know about this! It was like Star Wars.

Why the music at the end make me cry 💀😭

One of the greatest moments of comedy genius history the boys will still be going in another 100 years...

I guess that that would be PART of the theme music for, "The Munsters", is surf music. Perhaps all of it is not. I don't know.

Does everyone here understand and know that Uncle Fester was The Kid from the Charlie Chaplin classic film?!!! I am 45 and did not know this until the last few years!!! I admit I do prefer the Munsters though the Adams Family were great too.

I do think that Kirk Douglascharacter is one of the most odious in any movie,you sit through 2 hours just praying he gets killed.

Marvin Hatley wrote the song "Honolulu Baby" as well as "We are The Sons of the Desert". He also wrote the famous "Ku Ku" Laurel and Hardy theme song. Ty Parvis sings "Honolulu Baby" as he dances with Charita Alden. Later on after getting out of the taxi and coming home, Oliver Hardy sings the chorus of "Honolulu Baby" on a soprano ukelele.

With the death of Lisa Loring aka Wednesday Addams in January 2023 her former co-star John Astin aka Gomez Addams is now the very last surviving member of The Addams Family cast. RIP Carolyn Jones aka Morticia Addams, Jackie Coogan aka Uncle Fester, Ted Cassidy aka Lurch, Blossom Rock aka Grandma Addams, and Ken Weatherwax aka Pugsley Addams.

1:14 is where the gay singer/dancer backs off because the girl tries to kiss him, yuck!
