Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNone of the locations were stock footage, since this was one of the first CinemaScope movies. The locations were shot by a second unit in England during the spring and summer of 1953, specifically for this film. Stand-ins doubled for the principal cast in long shots, which were then matched at 20th Century-Fox studios and ranch in California during the autumn of 1953. The English stand-in for Janet Leigh's Aleta character was a teenage Shirley Eaton, (later to become the James Bond Goldfinger (1964) girl).
- GoofsIn this story set in the Middle Ages, Aleta and all the other women look as if they are wearing the notorious "torpedo bras'' of the 1950s.

Featured review
A Viking Hero
In my childhood Prince Valiant was one of my favorites. There was this film and also an album to fill in with cards related to the film. Henry Hathaway did a real good work with this film, very good for all ages, but more for children. One of the things I liked was the way Valiant (Robert Wagner or his stunt) jumped and ran. He was very active and with pride. The film had a good acting of James Mason as the villain Sir Brack, Sterling Hayden as strong Sir Gawain; two beauties of those days, Janet Leigh and Debra Paget, and the ex-boxing champion, the Italian Primo Carnera as the villain Sligon, who badly talked in the scenes he participated. Although the film was made in studios, the photography and the environment shown were good.
