Submitted to the British Board of Film Censors on 2 July 1964 when it was passed with a "U" certificate under the title The Savage Hordes. Curiously, distributors Eagle Films bought the film as Ursus and the Tartar Princess, but didn't bother changing the main title to show the new title. The ITV network eventually acquired the film and its television premiere (reverting back to Ursus and the Tartar Princess) was on 25 November 1991 on Yorkshire Television who screened it as the fifth in their "Roman Follies" series, a light-hearted season of the worst of the Italian epics.
