I can't wait!

The friend of a friend also mentions that there are some bloody battle bits that he doesn't recall from viewing the US version.

Was watching it until right now, and surprised as to how violent this is for a 1960 film. Starting watching with my daughter and had to stop because of the violence and nudity. Will watch it tonight.

Nudity? Wow, that's a bit surprising.

It wasn't gratuitous or anything like that. There was a character that was assumed was a man, but to prove that she wasn't she rips her shirt off to show her breasts. Still, she was yelling and it was an aggressive scene.
