    • Trivia
      Director Vittorio Cottafavi started the picture, but was fired after three weeks (he and Louis Jourdan did not get along) and replaced by Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia.
    • Goofs
      During the fight on the bridge near the beginning of the film, a barbarian fighter is slashed and grabs his face with his hands. You can clearly see a Band-Aid on his thumb.
    • Quotes

      Horatio: [Giving his men encouragement at the bridge before being attacked] A Roman makes a good hero if he dies at the end of a battle, but if he gets killed in the first skirmish, he's a fool.

    Too many cooks ...
    You know you might be in for a less than stellar time when a film has more than one screenwriter. There are exceptions, of course, but this one has at least four, and thus is no exception to the rule.

    My favorite part in this turkey is during the fight at the flimsy wooden bridge at the beginning of the film when one of the extras playing a barbarian puts his hands up to his face and you can clearly see a Band-Aid on his thumb. Once you see something like this, it's hard to take the rest of the film seriously.

    It's amazing when you think that Sylvia Syms played the female lead in the excellent Dirk Bogarde film, "Victim," in the same year she appeared in "Amazons of Rome."
