Ursus In The Land Of Fire (35mm Upgrade) (1963)

aka: Ursus Nella Terra Di Fuoco

Amilcare (Adriano Micantoni), a cruel and ambitious general, murders his king (Nando Tamberlani) and places himself on the throne with the former king’s evil niece, Mila (Claudia Mori), as his queen. He then wages war against his peaceful neighbors, killing their women and enslaving their men. A hero named Ursus (Ed Fury) appears at a tournament to challenge Amilcare’s authority. Though victorious at the tournament, Ursus is arrested and forced to turn a grist-mill under an overseer’s lash. Meanwhile, the former king’s virtuous daughter, Diana (Luciana Gilli), is tormented by Mila. Sentenced to a slow and tortuous execution, Ursus breaks free and a revolt breaks out. Ursus throws Amilcare to his death in a fiery pit and then Ursus and Diana enjoy the cheers of a grateful populace. (Widescreen format).

This film came from a very nice widescreen import print.
