ONE OF THE BEST ANCIENT HISTORY MOVIES FROM THE 1960s

I first saw this movie on TV back in the 1960s when Sword & Sandal movies were shown on TV almost every night of the week. This was the first time I ever heard of the old city of HERCULANEUM and this movie. Since then there has been several DVD releases of this title. The most complete has all the English soundtrack plus the left over parts from the original Italian release that were never translated into English. Brad Harris was a friend of mine and we spoke often. He had a fondness for this movie as it was one of the first movies he made after he went to Italy. Everyone has heard of Pompeii but few know of Herculaneum, which is a shame, as there is plenty to see there. Watch this great movie and take a trip into the past. There is a version on Y/T.
