Devil of the Desert Against the Son of Hercules (The Slave Merchants) (Movies Unlimited DVD-R)

Typical early 60's Italian-Spanish-French made sword-and-sandal film. Anthor, yet another son of Hercules, helps out a princess escaping the rout of her people after a desert baddie takes over her kingdom. Lots of running around and skirmishes between the good guys and the bad guys. The DVD-R I viewed was pretty good quality. Would be nice to see these peplum films re-mastered and released to DVD (not DVD-R). Recommended for fans of the genre.

Trivia
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.
