Having been bound once to the prow of a ship in Cinecitta for one of the gladiator movies I made there, I could only hear the director instructing me in a megaphone: "Be sexy! Be sexy!" Whatever that meant!
Never would I have agreed to appear in "Sword and Sandals" films if the Italian producers had not immediately agreed to pay me twice the fee I was usually offered. I simply did not have the moral strength to refuse such an amount of money.
