Review by ulicknormanowen

A disjointed screenplay ,a muddled story , and a cast against type Lex Barker (whose career was almost exclusively European in the sixties ) : a curious adventures movie ,with never a dull moment , plenty of sadism (flogging ,Myriam handing the pure governor's daughter to her riffraff pirates, Drakut leaving his injured enemy in the desert) and many implausibilities :a woman (Chela Alonso ,an habituée of the genre) ruling over a muslims ' tribe? A governor's daughter is refined and educated :how can she passed unnoticed among these probably illiterate enslaved women?

A great director could have enhanced Barker/Alonso's final scene which had a great potential ; as usual,it's the villains who provide the movie with its most exciting moments.
