Just as he’s about to be killed, however, he is thrown backwards in time to a kingdom of brunette women and their blonde slaves.

Further films by Hammer which traded heavily on the appeal of scantily clad cave girls were When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970) and Creatures the World Forgot(1971).

Shooting took place from 26 January to 22 February 1966.
