(1962) Richard Harrison, Loredana Nusciak, Gerard Tichy, Livio Lorenzon. A gladiator epic with a dash of humor thrown in. Framed for helping the escape of several gladiators, Harrison,who’s the son of a Spartan nobleman, is sentenced to be a gladiator himself. Later he escapes, only to discover that his father has been slain. Even worse, the woman he loves is about to marry the evil King of Sparta! With his six gladiator pals, they set out—swords in hand—to make things right again. Probably Harrison’s best sword & sandal film. From a gorgeous color 35mm anamorphic print.
