Here is another excellent example of Italian movie-rubbish. This is yet another sword and sandal hokum on the same lines of "Gli Schiavi piu' forti del Mondo". Surprisingly enough (please not the sarcasm) it presents the same actors (the word 'stars' in this case is thoroughly inadequate). The plot is somewhat scarce - nothing surprising seeing that Spartacus ended up dead in the movie featuring Kirk Douglas. Coming to actors if Gordon Mitchell (or anyone for that matter) thinks that he can take the part of Douglas he may give up. Well that's about it. The thing is when there is a big movie like Universal's "Spartacus", producers (namely Italian ones) just aren't able to say "It's great, but that's the end of it." No - they have to keep on dragging it on until they go bankrupt. This movie was unadvisable from before it had started. There was already "Il Figlio di Saprtacus" in circulation, asserting that the hero was dead, so the idea of resuscitating him for this reel was just a certainty that the film would result as being obtuse. Once again - DESTROY IT!
