Ali Baba And The Seven Saracens (1964)

An Italian action film written and directed by Emimmo Salvi.
A new king is to be chosen from all the groups of people in an area. This contest brings a group of rebels into contact with the royalty against which they are rebelling. The leader of the rebels falls in love with a royal woman.
Lame, boring, poor quality, just another old movie. There was really nothing that stood out about this film to the positive or negative (and we all know how I despise mediocrity). The production value and editing were bad to the point where the video looked dirty (and not in an X rated way). The sound had similar qualities, but not as pronounced. The plot was a little murky at times and it was a little difficult to tell one gladiator from another in the ending conflict scene. The chariot action was as good as or better than Ben-Hur. I'm rating it o.k. because it was just a murky, scummy old movie.
