«This
colorful if somewhat truncated biopic of the legendary Mongol leader was filmed
in the Philippines. Manuel Conde (the film's producer) stars as Temujin, the
peasant later to be known as Genghis Khan. In rapid-fire order, Temujin fights a
rival tribe over the rights to water hole, avenges the murder of his father, and
claims the heroine (Elvira Reyes). Originally filmed in the Tagalog language,
Genghis Khan was released in the US with a narration spoken by film critic/screenwriter
James Agee. This all-but-forgotten film bears the distinction of receiving two
reviews in the trade paper Variety; The first time for its Philippine debut, in
1952, and the second time for its American distribution by United Artists in
1953» (Hal Erickson).
