I saw this as a kid, thought it was great and was hooked on ancient history. I also watched all of the Sword & Sandal movies that followed. I watched every one of the HERCULES/MACISTE type movies (1957 to 1966). Recently I re-watched ALEXANDER THE GREAT and only now can see how truly BAD it is by comparison. The terrible helmets and armor used in Alexander is very evident in 2022. Good story but very EPISODIC and drawn-out boring.
