war gods of babylon (1962)

aka Le sette folgori di Assur. 7th Thunderbolt.
"...you can belong to no one else, not even a God."
Mirra (Jocelyn Lane), has her village destroyed by the Asyrians, killing everyone but her. She is saved when a travelling holyman takes her to the capital. There she catches the eye of Shammash (Luciano Marin), the king's brother, who brings her to live in the palace. Unfortunately King Sardanapalo (Howard Duff), also takes a shine to her, and so the bickering begins.
To say that there are better epics, is not saying a lot.
