This is a very interesting B movie with Steve Reeves as the hero. I think the audience will learn about Russian history watching this little film. The great talent of Steve Reeves is once again able to entertain the public. It is not easy making a film of this nature in a foreign location. Even with the imperfections with this little film there are many enjoyable moments. Steve Reeves was once offered the part of Samson, but later turned it down. He was also offered the role as 007, instead of Sean Connery, but declined the role. He was also offered several roles that actor Clint Eastwood later accepted in spaghetti westerns, but declined. By his refusal of roles , other actors that did take those same roles have become legends.
