Battle of Vienna occurred on September 11th (and 12th) of 1683.

It was the battle that turned the tide against the Muzzies by the Christians.

That sounds like a king sized movie story, a Period Piece. One that would have to be filmed on several different locations. Today, the director has a choice of filming live, or using CGI imagery. You could create an advancing army of what looks like 200,000 soldiers, if that is what the director wants.

Of course too much CGI, and you get films like NOAH, starring Russell Crowe. NOAH was one of the last big movies reviewed by Roger Ebert. He did not like the giant rock people either.

The film is also known as Day of the Siege and is apparently an Italian film, from 2012.

[Does so]

Ever since Googling "Winged Hussars", I've caught snippets of this movie—all the best parts. This link is the first I can recall that has the full length 2-hour production.

Have you notified our FRiend "Jan Sobieski"—never mind, I just did... ;)

Watched with keen interest ..... was stationed in Aviano Italy for 4 years and read about Marco , walked through the history of the region including World War II sites, Hannibal’s path through the dolomites etc.... regular drives up through Austria to Munich.... beautiful area.

Thanks for the movie suggestion.

Is that the one with F Murray Abraham? Not a great depiction (they tried to cram too much into too little time), but still a gripping story. Just the tale of Jan Sobieski and the Winged Hussars is edifying. And the Siege of Vienna was a pivotal point in the islamic invasion of Europe.
