[LM_NET] HIT: OT: Anyone know this movie?

[Steven Patnode <Sun85@AOL.COM>]

Here's the information I had to go on. from my original query
:
" Friends told me about a movie they remember liking, but they have  
very few details.  It's an older movie, starring someone like  Kirk
Douglas/Burt Lancaster/Gregory Peck, and the plot involves a search
for a golden bell.  At the end, the searchers enter a church and  see
a gold bell hanging in the center.  They think they have found  the
treasure, but then one of the protagonists swings the bell.  It turns  out
that this is just the clapper, and the entire dome of the church is
an enormous golden bell."  

 
Thanks to Anne Paulsen of Lake Placid Elementary School (we're practically  
neighbors) for the answer:  The Long Ships (1963), starring Richard  Widmark
 
Here's the Internet Movie Database summary, and the link to the  movie's
page is below:
 
Plot Summary for 
The Long Ships (_1963_ (http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Years/1963) ) 
 
There is a legend about a great bell, called "The Mother of  Voices," made of 
pure gold, three times the size of a man, made by monks many  years ago... 
This is the story told in the marketplace by a Viking called Rolfe.  This 
information finds its way to the Islamic ruler Aly Manush, who is obsessed  with 
finding the bell. But Rolfe claims not to know where the bell is, and  escapes, 
back to his homeland, to convince his father and brother to give him a  ship 
and crew to replace the one he lost - or to help him steal the Death Ship  which 
belongs to the king - because he does know where the bell is...

Thanks, Anne!  And to everyone who expressed interest.
