Love crusade

It seems that the crusade has lost its raison d'être ; to redeem his soul,Godefroy De Bouillon had heeded pope Urban the Second's call : to free the Christ's tomb from the infidels ; after the victory , chivalrous Godefroy claimed they fought for justice ;the religious side is almost passed over in silence ,which is amazing ,all the same! There are more fights and more love affairs than hints at the Holy Sepulcre .

Most of the plot is invented from start to finish : Tancrède De Hauteville did exist and he did urge the crusaders to spare their enemies' lives (which he tells the absolutely implausible female warrior Clorinda in the movie) for, unlike their attitude in the screenplay ,the occident men massacred too. Jerusalem was defended by Egyptians Fatimides.

The movie is an entertaining swashbuckler ,but should not be taken seriously .The adventures of Renaldo D'Este seem taken by force from another "historical" movie " Rolando e i paladini di Francia "(1956) , in which the Saracens sent a "secret weapon" ,a gorgeous girl to cause dissension among their enemies ( Gianna Maria Canale replacing Rossana Schiaffino, Rik Battaglia is charmed in both films)
