WARRIOR AND THE SLAVE GIRL 1958 (LOVING THE CLASSICS)

just an ok Italian peplum film.

I was sort of disappointed in this movie as it didn't really hold my attention up until the last 20 minutes or so.

The story revolves around Marcus Numidius (Ettore Manni) who is sent to Armenia to put down a revolt. He actually ends up capturing their leader named Aselepius (Georges Marchal).

In the meantime the evil Princess Amira (Gianna Maria Canale) wants to be queen and is very jealous at how much the people respect Aselepius and so she plans to hve him killed in the arena.

Things don't go quite as planned as you may guess. The plot goes in a lot of directions with Amira's plans being thrown out the window and several other characters trying to either revolt of stop same said revolt.

I won't give too much away, but lets just say that we really see how evuil Amira is at the conclusion of the movie. I can recommend this for genre fans I guess, but it's not the best. Hey, the women are at least very beautiful.

The rest of the cast includes Mara Cruz, Lina Rosales, Vega Vinci, and Renato Montalbano.
