Silly, But Entertaining
8 April 2022
In the invaded Britain kingdom of Icena, Queen Salina (Carita) inherits the throne after the death of her father King Priam (Wilfrid Lawson). The King has made a deal with the fair leader of the Roman Legion Justinian (Don Murray) to share the government of Icena, despite the wishes of the Druids leader that wants war against the invaders. Out of the blue, Salina falls in love with Justino, and brings protests in both sides. A greedy merchant decides to promote the Druid uprising in the countryside to force Justino to travel and makes a deal with his right-hand Octavian (Andrew Keir) to overthrow Justino and begin a war in Icena.

"The Viking King" is a silly, but entertaining romantic adventure by Hammer very funny. The writer might be under influence when wrote this story so crazy it is. The Viking queen is not Nordic, but British. The druids worship the Greek god Zeus. The beginning of the romance between Salina and Justino is hilarious, after a chariot race. Anyway, the colors are beautiful and the film entertains in a rainy afternoon. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "The Viking Queen"
