Ursus and the Tartar Princess (Italian: Ursus e la ragazza tartara, French: La fille des Tartares, also known as Tartar Invasion) is a 1961 Italian-French peplum film written and directed by Remigio Del Grosso and starring Yoko Tani and Ettore Manni.[1][2]

Plot

The young Polish prince Stephen goes on a mission together with the mighty Ursus, but they are captured by the Tartars.

During the days of his captivity Stefano falls in love with Ilia, a Tatar girl daughter of the chief. But the girl is already promised to the son of the Great Khan, so a duel arises between the two rivals.
