Hero of Rome (1964)

An Italian sword and sandal action adventure film directed by Giorgio Ferroni.
When captured by Etruscans, a Roman soldier burns his hand to demonstrate that he will not tell them anything. He learns to fight left-handed and leads the Roman troops to victory.
When I read the plot, I asked "Is that it?". It sure seemed like more happened in the movie, but so what? It's just another sword and sandal. The camera-work was alright and the fights were choreographed pretty well. I'll rate it poor instead of bad.
