Richard Greene was well cast for this historically fictional romp. Known as a swashbuckling hero on- and off-screen, Greene rivaled Tyrone Power in athletic build and prowess, as well as boyish good looks. Not long after this movie, he won the lead role in one of the most successful television series of the 1950's: The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955).
