Damon and Pythias (1962)

An Italian American sword and sandal adventure film directed by Curtis Bernhardt.
One man is accused of a crime and asks for time to settle his affairs before execution. The leader refuses until another man volunteers to be imprisoned in place of the first man until he returns. If the first man does not return, the second will be executed instead.
All of this plot happened in the last 30 minutes of the film. The hour leading up to that was filler. Obviously, it was yet another extremely boring sword and sandal flick. The video and audio were crappy and it was completely lacking style. I was going to poke fun at Mill Creek Entertainment here, but upon looking them up, found out that they're a gigantic video redistribution company. I had seen their logo on a few other boring sword and sandal flicks and wanted to make a Mill Creek = run of the mill joke, but no can do. I'm rating it poor because it didn't stand out enough to rate bad.
