Yvonne DeCarlo's voice was dubbed by another actress in the English-language version.
Not submitted to the British Board of Film Censors by any distributor, it was however purchased by the ITV network. Dubbed into English and reverting to its original title The Sword and the Cross, the UK television premiere was on 7 April 1990 in the HTV West region. Yorkshire Television selected it on 18 November 1991 for the fourth of their "Roman Follies" series, a light-hearted season of the worst of the Italian epics.
