17.8.10

conqueror of corinth (1961)


AKA Il conquistatore di Corin. The Centurion.
“Give me time Diaeus, and if one day I wake in love with you, I will tell you.”
Roman centurion Caius (Jacques Sernas) is injured during unrest in Corinth. He’s rescued and tended to by Hebe (Geneviève Grad), daughter of the anti-Roman governor, and Artemide (Gianna Maria Canale), who is married to a Corinthian politician. Both fall for his charms, but he only has eyes for Hebe. But he has a love rival in Diaeus (John Drew Barrymore), who will stop at nothing to get her.
Efficient if not exactly gripping sword an sandal epic.
