Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a booming 1940s Italian Sandokan cycle adapting Emilio Salgari's novels, which ironically made a Malaysian pirate hero wildly popular in Fascist-era cinema.
Massimo Girotti (Tremal-Naik) would later star in Visconti's 'Ossessione' and 'Senso' — imagine THAT energy brought to pulp adventure.
