(1961, Upgraded 10/29/22) Gordon Mitchell, Bella Cortez, Roldano Lupi, Marietto, Omero Gargano. A wonderful combination of sword & sandal and sci-fi elements. A scientific supercity is the setting for weird experiments, torture, and intrigue. Mitchell plays Ohro, a musclebound warrior who searchs for the legendary capital city of Atlantis. He soon falls into a struggle against the evil master of the city, Yoh-tar, whose hideous super-science schemes threaten the lives of not only his subjects, but his young son. This is one of the more unusual sword and sandal thrillers of the early 1960s, filled with moody, atmospheric music, which embellish the film's Mario-Bava style cinematography. Well worth seeing. Beautiul color, from 35mm.
