Storyline

- TriviaThe production had to shut down when the money ran out. American-International Pictures' executives James H. Nicholson and Samuel Z. Arkoff were shown rushes from the film and agreed to buy the US distribution rights, which gave the film's producers the money to continue production. With their own Steve Reeves movie (retitled Goliath and the Barbarians (1959)) in theaters only five months after the box-office sensation Hercules (1958), American-International had one of its biggest hits up to that time.
- Alternate versionsFor its release in the United States under the title "Goliath and the Barbarians," American International trimmed almost 15 minutes of film, replaced the English language dubbing with their own English dubbed track and replaced the score with one recorded by Les Baxter. It became American International's biggest hit up to that time. It set a precedent for American International's handling of later foreign negative pick-ups.

Featured review
There were a lot of 50s and early 60s swashbuckling costume dramas that must have played in saturday afternoon double features in this country.I didn't get a chance to see a lot of them until the middle 60s,when they would show them on local tv on saturday afternoons.This is one that I didn't get a chance to see until December,1973.There isn't a whole lot more that I can add to what Dinky said.I think that Chelo,as the heroine,is simply ravishing,and,depending on how your tastes run,maybe Steve is quite delectable,too.And she's the only one in the film whose chest rivals his in size.
