Cast

Production

Anthony Steel had recently settled permanently in Italy.[2]

Reception

Monthly Film Bulletin called it "a dull, mechanical affair."[3]

Filmink said Steel "is the male lead for pirate queen Gianna Maria Canale, who beats him in a sword duel and has to rescue him later. Which is surprisingly and enjoyably feminist but presumably helped further dint Steel’s already-fragile ego. Incidentally, the film indicates that the actor’s physical appearance was starting to disintegrate – he was still handsome with all his hair and no gut, but his face was appearing increasingly gaunt and tired."[2]
