Audience Member Colorful, campy fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this one time and I think it's to old-fashioned and it was not interesting to watch Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Priceless junk that is pretty much explained by it's title. John Derek was a good looking man and at times an adequate actor but not here although the script such as it is doesn't really lend itself to major thesping. Elaine Stewart as the princess is even worse though enacting her role with all the passion of a petulant schoolgirl and showing that her eventual participation in numerous game show as a hostess was probably the best use of her talents. The only cast member to emerge with any kind of distiinction is Thomas Gomez who chews the high grade ham as an good hearted but opportunistic trader. The costumes are just about what you'd expect from this sort of sword and sandal flick but keep an eye out at about the hour mark for a young slave maiden wearing what truly appears to be a mop on her head!! The most baffling aspect of the whole thing is that it has a score conducted by Nelson Riddle and an (awful) theme song sung by the great Nat King Cole that is repeated over and over again throughout the flick. Enjoyable in a mindless colorful way. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
