Anecdotes
According to director J. Lee Thompson, in an interview in Yul Brynner: The Man Who Was King (1995), there was a misunderstanding with the hundreds of Argentine gauchos playing horsemen . They were told that horsemen who fell off their horse during an attack scene would be paid extra--but only those who were directed to do so. When the scene was shot, two-thirds of them fell off their horses and expected the extra pay. Upon being told they were not going to be paid extra, they threatened to strike. Yul Brynner then took steak dinners out to their encampment that evening and spent hours entertaining them. Impressed by this, the gauchos returned to work the next day.

Gaffes
The Cossack's "scalp-lock" is not on the back but the front! Only the old Cossack is the one that has it correctly.

Citations
Taras: My son, why? Why?
Andrei Bulba: I did what I had to do.
Taras: From the day I plunged you in the river to give you life, I loved you as I loved the steppes. You were my pride! I gave you life. It is on me to take it away from you.

Cossacks vs Poles

Borrowing from Gogol the title ,the proper nouns and the son's killing,Jack Lee Thompson's movie is quite entertaining,ideal for a rainy day or after a hard day's work.

The first part is the most interesting: the scenes at the university with its sadistic monks -while one of them is flogging the rebel students,the other kneels down and pray- and its "racism" : a lot of Pole Students cannot accept the fact that those primitive savage cossacks study in their school.Curtis was almost emasculated "to prevent him from sullying Pole girls." It sometimes recalls"Romeo and Juliette",which Christine Kaufman's resemblance with Olivia Hussey who would play the part of Juliette six years later reinforces.Yul Brynner is ideally cast as Taras.

The 1936 French version ("Tarass Boulba" French spelling)mainly deals with the second part -the siege- and the stories are similar with the same love interest.
