(1961, Anamorphic Edition) Ed Fury, Moira Orfei, Alberto Lupo, Giacomo Furia, Gérard Herter. Lupo, one of the best villains of the Peplum era, plays another dastardly dictator whose armies attack a nearby kingdom. The rulers of the besieged capital city place a royal medallion around the neck of their infant son (Ursus) and have him removed from the city. He ends up being raised by Lions. Years later, the adult Ursus ends up captured by Lupo to prevent him from taking his rightful place on the throne. Naturally there is a ton of court intrigue and action sequences as Ursus fights to avenge his parents’ deaths and gain back control of his kingdom. Lots of gorgeous Italian starlets! Probably Fury’s best film. Beautiful color, from 35mm.
