Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector of photography Mario Bava was called to step in as director (uncredited) to finish the film, as Jacques Tourneur did not wish to extend his ten-month contract. Galatea Film decided to reward Bava by giving him a chance to develop his own project as a solo director, Black Sunday (1960).
- GoofsAt 44:17, the stunt rider meant to represent an enemy attacker is much darker than the actor he's doubling.

- Alternate versionsThe version now being seen in the USA was taken from the Lux (French) release version. It has been modified with the main title in English (the remainder of the credits are in French) and the English dialog track. It also contains shots of graphic violence that were deleted from the original US version that was released to theatres by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1960.

No Horses Were Unharmed In This Film
This is an OK sword and sandal flick. Not the best I've watched and it doesn't have any super natural creatures involved so this is just human vs human. However, they really abuse the poor horses in this thing. 5 of 10, best if watched in a riffed variety like The Film Crew did which is pretty amusing (the team pre-Rifftrax). It's on the internet free as a regular film (bad copy) and on places like Tubi to watch riffed by The Film Crew.
