(1961, Anamorphic English Edition) Jack Palance, Anita Ekberg, Antonella Lualdi, Franco Silva, Roldano Lupi. This is probably the best best video edition of this sword and sandal classic released to date, now in anamorphic widescreen from a beautiful color 35mm print. During the Mongol invasion of Poland, a conflict between Mongol Emperor Genghis Khan and his oldest son Ogotai ensues when the former aims for peace and the latter lusts for war and conquest. Palance is very as as he plays the bloodthirsty son of Genghis Khan. Ekberg is the beautiful lady of royalty he craves. An elaborate spectacle piece that’s filled with excitement and plenty of pitched battles. Wel-done from start to finish. Ekberg’s final scene is really memorable. One of our most popular sword and sandal epics. Color, 35mm.
