This is one of the most ridiculous movies in the history of cinema. Imagine, an aging Victor Mature running around in a costume which consists basically of black panties and a cape! And a morbidly obese Orson Welles pretending to ride a horse into combat and fight hand to hand. Ridiculous! The plot involves fighting in medieval times between Tatar's and Vikings around the Volga River in what is now Russia, but rather than being historically focused it has a trumped up plot involving kidnapping and rape of women, erotic dancing, and other things that were titillating to 1960's audiences. Skip this one.
