Italian Peplum Flick with Kirk MORRIS and Michele GIRARDON

Adriano BELLINI aka Kirk MORRIS was one of the few Italian bodybuilders who landed leading roles in CINECITTA's sandal films. In this peplum with oriental flair he plays Anthar(es), who helps a beautiful king's daughter (Michele GIRARDON / the Brandy from HATARI!) in her fight against various villains.

It's not really innovative in terms of content, but there are a lot of very entertaining fight scenes to see. A fight between the muscleman and a rhino is original, and at the end it goes into a mysterious hall of mirrors. Roberto DellACQUA (1946-2019), who comes from a well-known family of acrobats who appeared in several CINECITTA films, can be seen as the hero's silent helper. Roberto later became known primarily as a sauce devil fighting against Bud SPENCER.

Not an outstanding contribution to the genre, but you can certainly take a look!

Quiz
This was one of the many sword and sandal/mythological muscle man movies acquired by Joseph E. Levine's Embassy Pictures for release in the United States. Since there was a decline in the popularity of the genre, and many such films had been released to U.S. theaters, Embassy released it directly to television as part of their "Sons of Hercules" film package. The film was modified, pan and scanned, and re-titled "Devil of the Desert Against the Son of Hercules." Like other films in this film package, broadcasters could select versions which could be shown like a feature film, or shown in two one hour time frames as if it were a part of a television series.
