Growing up in germany, surrounded by history, I developped an interest in the middle ages. A hobby sort of speech. Having seen some german documentaries on this subject, and having read lots of materials about this period, I expected a decent 2 hours of entertainment. But this movie was incredible boring, poorly researched and the characters acted like reading from a script. Suspense was absolutely absent. I would love to ask the Director or producer of this movie: "why they made it" or "what the purpose of making it was ". I watched this movie in 1981, today I would have no patience of sitting through such a constraption.
