Diverse, prominent actors from Kirk Douglas, Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier to Tim Robbins and John Cleese, and noted directors, including Richard Fleischer, Clive Donner and Terry Jones, have all lent their talents to Viking-related films. These fourteen essays on films dealing with the Viking era discuss American, British and European productions. Analyzed in detail are such films as \u003ci\u003eThe Vikings\u003c\/i\u003e (1958), \u003ci\u003eThe Long Ships\u003c\/i\u003e (1964), \u003ci\u003eAlfred the Great\u003c\/i\u003e (1969), \u003ci\u003eErik the Viking\u003c\/i\u003e (1989) and \u003ci\u003eOutlander\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), as well as two comic-strip adaptations, the 1954 and 1989 films of \u003ci\u003ePrince Valiant\u003c\/i\u003e and the animated \u003ci\u003eAsterix and the Vikings\u003c\/i\u003e (2006).
