THIS WAS SHOWN WIDELY AT DRIVE-INS AND ON TV

I remember this movie well, as it was shown many times at late night drive-ins and later on TV. Alan Steel was part of the "Golden Era" in Rome when most of these strongman movies were made. Alan Steel was from Ostia and later retired there. He made a lot of different movies but will be mostly remembered for this title and HERCULES AGAINST THE MOONMEN. Both of which were blockbusters in Canada and the USA. Seeing Alan Steel fight the crocodile is worth viewing the price of admission. There are many good versions on Y/T for you to enjoy. I have also added a few choice pics in the IMDB gallery. Watch it for some great fun. Larry Anderson.
