Widescreen Edition (1962) Lang Jeffries, Rossana Podesta, Philippe Leroy, Gabriele Tinti. This is a taut thriller about the cruelty of a Roman Tribune who subjects the citizens in his province to much cruelty and injustice. Lang is one of his victims and is sentenced to the arena to be fair play for the gladiators on hand. But when his lady love comes under the thumb of the Tribune, Lang and his lady’s brother organize a resistance to overthrow the tyrant. No classic, but this is definitely an above average Italian S&S mini-epic. Widescreen, great color, 35mm
