THE BLACK DUKE 1963 (INTERNET ARCHIVE)

Italian adventure film starring Cameron Mitchell as Cesare Borgia.

Cesare is at war with Catalina Sforza (Gloria Milland) who has formed an organization called "the red flower" to kill him.

Cesare also has many other personal and political troubles, but that doesn't keep him from living life to it's fullest and fighting and winning many battles.

This is a fast moving movie and it never seems to lose the viewers attention. However, it is very different than what I expected and doesn't quite fit in with all of the other Italian sword and sandal films I have seen.

Mitchell does a great job in the lead role, but his voice has been dubbed by someone else. The rest of the cast includes Conrado San Martin, Maria Grazia Spina, Franco Fantasia, and Dina De Santis.

If you're a fan of this genre of cinema I would recommend you see it and judge for yourself. I kept most of the info about this movie out of the review as it's best seen without me giving too much away.
