Dug up a copy of this overlooked, nearly forgotten Italian fantasy/adventure because I had the vaguest recollection of watching it on Super Scary Saturday with Grampa Al Lewis in the 1980s.
I had forgotten almost everything about the movie, and I was expecting one of those cheap peplum latter day Hercules films. The movie is actually much more. The story is interesting instead of just an excuse to move between various fight scenes (though there's plenty of those), large crowd and battle scenes, vivid colors, and above average special effects for 1960s Italian films. The scenes are all wonderful to look at, and there's lots of beautiful women.
Highly recommended.
