Viewing Notes
I’m honestly surprised I hadn’t seen this movie during my youth. It’s totally the kind of movie I would have loved and watched many times. No, it’s not great but very much in line with with these types of fantasy sword & sandals films of this time period. The warrior Cord goes on a journey to find a book of enlightenment when in fact the journey is his schooling. Also the supporting cast is better than the lead Jeff Cooper.
