Edmund Purdom and George Ardisson in THE LAST OF THE VIKINGS (1961)
Even though with the growing number of titles on Blu-ray (mostly from Europe), the PEPLUM genre in general has been neglected. Of the sub-genres, the Vikings category has been really neglected. We're in 2024, soon to be 2025, and yet this movie is still not on Blu-ray or HD streaming. This scene was recreated (aka stolen), almost scene by scene, for a GAME OF THRONES episode. It's really amazing. Edmund plays a crazed King. He's really quite entertaining. This entire scene and the scene following this one make the movie. It's harrowing even with Edmund's OTT acting.
