Great Movie all around, The cinematography, direction, editing, casting and acting were all superb not to mention the horsemanship. Best acting performance of Jack Palance's career, with solid performances by Omar Shariff and Leigh Taylor-Young and realism supplied by hundreds of locals as extras.
After watching this movie with its showcase of the Afghan tribal culture, the roughedness of the terrain and the overall toughness of the people, I can see why the British Empire, the Soviet Union and the U. S. all had great difficulty controlling them.
Certainly this film deserves at least an 8+ rating.
