Gladiators of Rome (1963)

An Italian sword and sandal action film directed by Mario Costa.
A strong slave is protecting a princess who is hiding from authorities because she has become a Christian. The slave ends up being a gladiator.
More of the same cookie cutter trash. Just like '70s kung fu, these '60s sword and sandal flicks were mass-produced on such a scale that quality definitely suffered. The audio and video were terrible, the plot was murky and it had no style. The characters were identifiable, but that's the only positive comment I can think of. I'm rating this poor because it wasn't the worst sword and sandal film and it blends in better with that rating.
