Actors had to be able to play multiple races and roles back then..

“Thrall” girl? Is that were the descriptive “enthralled” comes from?
To: afraidfortherepublic
“Thrall” is an archaic word meaning slave, from an Anglo-Saxon word that came from Old Norse. “Enthrall” is derived from “thrall.”

No Norwegians among the four. Three Jews and an Italian... Didn’t realize how pretty Janet Leigh was in her 20s

Sounds a lot like the Michael Crichton novel and film Eaters of the Dead, truly frightening book.

a funeral of a Scandinavian, Swedish, chieftain who was on an expedition on the eastern route. The account is a unique source on the ceremonies surrounding the Viking funeral, of a chieftain. The dead chieftain Gee. Do you you think this guy might have been - a CHIEFTAIN?

Eaters of the Dead.
Crichton borrowed heavily from Ibn Fahdlan.

This is news? I read this over 40 years ago!
To: Popman
The movie was called the 13th warrior, the name of the book was different which escapes me at the moment...
THE EATERS OF THE DEAD.
