Russian Egyptian it’s all the same I guess. I guess 50’s Hollywood wasn’t very progressive.

at least they had the story somewhat straight. hollywood adaptation of Taras Bulba with Brynner in the lead is so much worse (well, the source material is quite bad too - it is so anti-historic it is not even funny bad)
