This sandal film is a copycat production based on the Hollywood success THE DECLINE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE with ACADEMY AWARD winner Sophia LOREN. Almost 40 years later, both films provide the blueprint for the mega-success GLADIATOR from 2000.
A gladiator (Richard HARRISON) fights with his buddies (Giuliano GEMMA and Alvaro De LUNA) against the evil Emperor Commodus (Mimmo PALMARA can really play it big ;-) There is a scheming beauty (Moira ORFEI) and a blonde beauty (enchanting : Ivy HOLZER). There's a lot of fighting, but the fun isn't neglected either.
Quite a passable sword and sandal film from Italy!
