Many horses were killed in the making of this terrible fictional pseudo-historical epic, and this is very evident from the battle scenes. However the ridiculous and offensive racist casting makes the film completely unwatchable today. Casting Robert Morley as the Emperor of China and James Mason - with a particularly ridiculous attempt an an accent - as his Chinese advisor makes the film seem like a pantomime instead of a semi-serious attempt at making an epic adventure.
Talking Pictures TV should stop showing this dated, racist film in the UK as it is simply not appropriate in the 21st century.
