“An introspective biopic about the Mongol chief Temujin, who unified Asia’s warring tribes in the Dark Ages…emphasizes personal motivation rather than sweeping pageantry.”
– Variety
“It’s hard to generate audience sympathy for a Mongolian leader who laid waste to much of the civilized world, but Sharif pulls it off…James Mason is amusing as an epigrammatic Chinese leader.”
– Hal Erickson, AllMovie.com
An extraordinary all-star cast – including Omar Sharif in the title role, Stephen Boyd as his longtime rival/mentor, Françoise Dorléac as the seductive woman between them, James Mason as a Chinese leader, and Eli Wallach as a ferocious villain – is the highlight of Genghis Khan (1965), a spectacular biopic of the brutal Mongolian military genius. Also on hand are Robert Morley, Telly Savalas, Michael Hordern, and Woody Strode. Henry Levin (Journey to the Center of the Earth, also from Twilight Time) directs; the epic action – shot primarily in Yugoslavia – was photographed by the great Geoffrey Unsworth.
