Although the title "Ursus and the Tartar Princess" is a bit misleading - Ursus is really only a side character in a film which centers upon a love story involving a Polish prince and the enemy's Asian Tartar Princess, it is still thoroughly enjoyable. Large scale scenes, otherworldly lighting, enchanting sets and great characters all highlight a swift moving story with both action-packed and touching moments.
I'm not sure what motivated the previous two IMDb reviewers to leave such negative words, but perhaps the Italian Sword and Sandal films are not really their bowl of spaghetti. However, if you are one of the fans of this small but voluminous sub-sub-genre of film, then this hidden gem which isn't readily available from any mainstream outlets is most definitely worth tracking down.
