I'd bet there weren't any Viking old folks homes.
Did you ever see a movie that came out many years ago called: "The Viking Prince"? It starred: Kirk Douglas(with a patch over his eye!), Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh(who has also recently departed, sadly!), and I think, Ernest Borgnine.
It must have been made somewhere in the mid-to-late 50's. Because Douglas and Curtis starred in "Spartacus" in roughly the same time frame. Also, Curtis and Leigh played in a movie about Harry Houdini and his wife in that era, I believe.
