The tyrant Balthazar (habitual nasty Spaghetti Western , Folco Lulli), usurper of Babylone , rules the city with violence and atrocities . He organizes continuous sacrifices of maids along with the priestess (Moira Orfei , Peplum usual , along with her sister Liana Orfei) of Astarte . Nippur (Gordon Scott , here one of the few movies to show him with chest hair) , legitimate heir of throne , returns from exile with aim to retrieve the kingdom left by his father Sargon , kidnapped by Balthazar . During his journey , Nippur frees Tamira (Genevieve Grad ), a Jewish girl prepared to be sacrificed for Goddess Ishtar . Nippur is imprisoned by the usurper , but he escapes and is helped by king Persian Cyrus (Mario Petri).<\/p>\n
This is an agreeable Sword and Sandals movie with noisy action , extraordinary adventures , usual dancing scenes and spectacular final battle . Gordon Scott is nice as the mythical hero who finds several dangerous situations while attempting save his lover and recover the throne . He acted as a bouncing hero in great number of films and was randomly assigned the identity of H\u00e9rcules , Goliath , Samsom for US viewers . Scott usually playing historic characters , such as \u00a8Coroliano\u00a8, \u00a8Mucius Scevola\u00a8 and \u00a8Remo\u00a8. He was one along with Ed Fury, Dan Vadis, Alain Steel , Mark Forest, Reg Park , among others, whom the seek fame and fortune acting absurdly muscle mythological figures, but nobody topped Steve Reeves and Gordon Scott in popularity.<\/p>\n
The film follows a similar plot to famous film \u00a8Intolerance\u00a8 (1916) by D.W. Griffith , about fall of Babylone , though here appears a pretty malicious Balthazar , well played by Folco Lulli , but not the biblical history about ‘prophet Daniel and the lions’ . However , the movie has not mythological accuracy , neither expecting historical . Other pictures about these Babylonic events are the followings : \u00a8I Semiramide (1953)\u00a8 by Primo Zeglio with Ivonne Furneaux and John Erickson ; \u00a8Semiramis, slave and Queen\u00a8 by Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia ; and \u00a8Seven thunderbolts(1962)\u00a8 by Silvio Amadio with Jackie Lane and Howard Duff .<\/p>\n
