hercules and the tyrants of babylon (1964)

aka Ercole contro i tiranni di Babilonia.
"Employing an army to destroy one man? I've never heard anything so foolish."
Hercules takes on the three tyrants ruling Babylonia, to free their slaves and the captured Queen of the Helenes, Asparia. There follows much political intrigue and some throwing of rocks!
A run of the mill peplum with Rock Stevens (Peter Lupus) in the role of Hercules. Unfortunately he has none of the charisma of Steve Reeves or Mark Forest, but Helga Line and Anna Maria Polani make up for such dificiencies as eye candy. By no means an essential watch unless you are a peplum completist.
