Another lamentable Alpha transfer

"Once again Alpha releases an all but unwatchable pan and scan transfer with poor color and a blurred image. I give it two stars because the movie itself is entertaining. When you have transfers like the Anchor Bay/Starz DVD of ERIK THE CONQUEROR, it makes you wonder why they even bother to release such an inferior product as this DVD of LAST OF THE VIKINGS. Buy it only if you want to complete your Cameron Mitchell Viking trilogy (along with ERIK THE CONQUEROR and KNIVES OF THE AVENGER...both available in gorgeous widescreen versions)."
Like watching on a 1963 TV with a bad rabbit-ear antenna

"Closely follows the story of the late 1950's Kirk Douglas movie "The Vikings". Looks like it was recorded with a 1st generation camcorder from my grandma's 12" basement TV. Fun to collect for us "must have all things viking" fans, but this story was done profoundly better by the Kirk Douglas film's superior sets and Norwegian cinematography. };>{>The Vikings"
