Trivia
Warner Brothers had handled the original U.S. distribution of "Hercules" (1958) and "Hercules Unchained" (1959). When they released this in the United States two years later, in 1961, they promoted this as if it were another Hercules type movie. Their original U.S. one-sheet showed a shirtless Steve Reeves with a sword in one hand and swinging a huge chain in the other while about to stomp an opponent with spike-soled boots. Of course, there was no such scene in the movie.

Citas
Prince Sergei: [referring to Hadji Murad] There are many ways of making him give in. For example, crushing his fingers one by one, slowly, while he screams and screams, maddened with pain.

Créditos curiosos
For the U.S. English dubbed version, released through Warner Brothers, the name of director Riccardo Freda was listed in the credits as "Richard Freda."

19th Century Chechniya

Steve Reeves takes a vacation from ancient times in order to play a Moslem resistance fighter in The White Warrior. He plays the real life Hadji Murad who led Moslems in Chechniya in the 19th century against the encroachment of Russia. How times have changed. Made today the Russians would be the heroes, but in 1959 these were the years of the Cold War.

The film is not biographical in any sense, it rather is based on a Leo Tolstoy novel on the same subject. Reeves is a popular hero and one of the clan leaders in fighting Russian imperialism. He's also the beloved of both the sultan and his daughter whom Reeves would like to marry. But there's intrigue in both camps and he's got to overcome all that plotting.

Fans of the Herculean physique will be disappointed in that he only takes his clothes off in one scene. What's the purpose in casting Steve Reeves then?
