Trivia
Submitted to the British Board of Film Censors by Archway and passed with a "U" certificate (for all ages) on 20 June 1961, but only after some of the violence had been cut. Distributed in the UK as Queen of the Tartars, this was one of Archway's less successful releases, falling well short of their box office hits Ulysses (1954) and Hercules (1958).

Obscure sword and sandal classic

Great peplum with lots of charm! It's kinda like the first 10 minutes of a sword and sorcery flick, where a bunch of barbarians dressed up as Manowar pillage some village, but for 90 minutes. It even features a man in a bear costume! The tartar queen is really a kick-ass girl, who takes no crap and is a better leader than the men (ps! she's really cute too). I wouldn't go an call it feminist masterpiece, but well... it's about as feminist as the peplum genre gets (remember this is the genre where women with black hair are automatically cunning and evil). If you're a peplum fan and get the chance to see this little film, by all means do - it's one of the best of its kind!
