the barbarians (1953)


aka Il Sacco di Roma.
"I'll wager the enemy will teach them to be polite."
16th Century Rome and Massimo Colonna (Pierre Cressoy) loves Angela (Hélène Rémy). Unfortunately she is a member of the rival Orsini family and also engaged to Tancredi Serra (Vittorio Sanipoli). Tancredi tries to dispose of his rival by accusing him of murder, resulting in Massimo being rejected by Angela and banned from Rome. Meanwhile bigger troubles stalk them as a Spanish invasion threatens the very city.
Typical costumed drama, with love, betrayal and redemption.
