"Adapting to the phase of the peplum films in Italian cinema, also known as sword and sandal epics that had also won some international distribution, popular Italian clown Totó found some space in Cinecittá to take on D’Annunzio’s famous creation and early Italian cinema heroic figure Maciste. But the result is pretty laugh free and also underwhelming for an Italian speaking country."
