'He spoke truly, Ilya Muromets
'.
The beauties of the Russian land, Russian choruses, a true folkloric content, and a pair of trousers jokingly sent as a signal to the Russians' enemies.
This adaptation consists of snippets, bits, small scenes of the Russian legend.
In the idyllic love scenes, Ilya Muromets is as convincing as Oliver Hardy at his funniest.
It must be acknowledged that THE SWORD AND THE DRAGON (what sword?which dragon ?) is far from perfect; as a matter of fact, it's very clumsy and primitive.
Muromets' exploits have a propagandastyle, bombastic and grandiloquent tone, celebratory of a Soviet hero, and sometimes plainly stupid (see his reasoning when he bravely chooses the way that leads to death, over wealth and marriage).
The budget seems to have been appropriately big.
For those interested in folklore, fairy tales, children's movie, fantasy movies, sword and sorcery movies, THE SWORD AND THE DRAGON is worth watching.
