the brunette (spoilers?)

OK...I just turned this on in the middle of an attack scene where a lovely brunette locked away in her bedroom is overcome by a hoard of attacking soldiers. Victor Mature rescues her, gives her a gun, blockades the doors and windows, and rides away. I wasn't watching closely, but saw him staggering back through the desert, wounded, and thought I saw him reacting in grief/horror at finding the body of a(?) lovely brunette. Is this the same girl? I checked the cast list and see Eunice Gayson listed as playing Michael Wilding's young wife. Is this the same girl? (Sorry for being so lazy, but don't see when this is going to be broadcast again any time soon.)

The girl being menaced in her bedroom and then saved by Zarak Khan (Victor Mature) was played by Eunice Gayson. The other scene was not connected to this earlier scene and Zarak Khan is not reacting with grief at finding a dead woman. He is horrified to realise he has just killed a religious leader who earlier saved him from death by flogging.

Thanks. This is a great example of why one needs to watch a movie straight through!
