Mostly of Vikings movies were based on real facts, instead Mario Bava offers a fictional story, it's plentiful enjoyable with several real elements from the Vikings's saga, they really were settle in old England as exposes in the plot, somehow for commercial reasons they split two King's twins sons to elicit a plausible argument in the screenplay, the premise is meaningful to enrich the story, Bava eruditely set forth a strong Viking visual on their beliefs, the large tree on a cave is a smart sense of credibility, well-made long ships were widely authentic, in other hand vestal virgins wasn't accurate, the produces in that time used to be bring American actors in hope to sell those pictures on desired and rich American market, but Cameron Mitchell never reach in such position, an average B-actor, it's did not compromise the production itself, the Italian casting were enough to hold the picture, gorgeous girls and mainly having the great Giorgio Adisson as Erik, also Mario Bava adds two duties director of photography (which he was fabulous) and as director as well, the movie flows easy with a bit of humor displayed by the funniest actor Frank Giacobini as Rustichello, an regular guest on Mario Bava's movie, anyway a great entertainment picture!!
