Editorial Reviews

Brand new, factory sealed, fully licensed DVD manufactured in Brazil. NTSC format. Playable on any North American DVD player. High quality widescreen color image. Original English dialog with optional subtitles in Portuguese. Portuguese subtitles do not appear unless turned on and they can be easily turned off. The following is a review which appears in Amazon for the VHS edition. "I think this is one of the best-ever medieval war films. Charlton Heston's role (Chrysagon Delacroix) is almost perfect: Rosemary Forsyth (Bronwyn) is mysterious and gorgeous. Bors (played by Richard Boone) is taciturn, rough and also unforgettable. Draco (Guy Stockwell, Heston's insanely jealous younger brother) is my favorite character. Other than a few visual (technical) gaffs - like arrows bouncing off the siege tower draw bridge, and using modern-looking recurve bows - the armor and weapons and fighting is very satisfying. The mixture of Christianity in the presence of the old unforgotten Celtic religion is a tense ingredient that adds depth to what is essentially a simple story of "boy meets girl" and keeps her, even when his world turns against him over it."

This review is from: THE WARLORD with Charlton Heston (The War Lord) (O Senhor da Guerra) (High Quality Import Edition-NTSC format-Region 1-Playable in North America)(Adventure) (DVD)

The War Lord is not Charlton Heston's greatest film, but is not bad. This import DVD from Classicline is in English with Portuguese subtitles. The quality of the print and sound are fine--no problems here.

This is an exact copy of this little-known Charlton Heston film. Only the cover is in Portugese, the film is in it's original English, not dubbed. The quality is good, and the price is great, compared to the "collector" prices that folks want for the English-cover version.

Over the years I have bought this movie several times as it really brings the life and times of its characters into full view. This has an exceptionally strong cast and will be watched and enjoyed by any history buff.
