The role of Giselher was played by Italian actor Mario Girotti. In less than five years, he would become an international star under the American sounding name Terence Hill: He grew up in Germany so German was one of his native languages.
His role as Blo-Edin was one of his European roles for Canadian bodybuilder and professional wrestler Sam Burke. He would be best remembered for showing a flair for comedy in an American production as the real Hercules in "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules" (1962).
In the United States, this production was shown in a two-part English subtitled version promoted under the title "Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy".
The Central Cinema Company (CCC), producer Artur Brauner and director Harald Reinl were best remembered for their contributions to the German "krimi" genre.
