Hercules Against the Barbarians

With bald Howard Ross (a.k.a. Renato Rossini) as Gason representing the sneaky Mongols (Genghis Khan et al), Hercules, having saved Krakow from them, is in the Polish forest en route to visit a girlfriend they aim to kidnap, rescued later by a priest (Tullio Altamura), in the Italian-made MGM release Hercules Against The Barbarians, 1964.

Italian producers demonstrating some scale, we’re introduced to King Vladimir (Mirko Ellis), his domain not 100% clear, but happy to meet Hercules (Mark Forest), who saved Krakow, and to-whom he explains things, with his admiring emissary Arias (Gloria Milland), in Hercules Against The Barbarians, 1964.

Genghis Khan (Roldano Lupi) seems to be exercising his troops when his semi-disgraced underling Kubilai (Ken Clark) appears with the Polish farm-girl (or maybe princess) he’s kidnapped (Josè Greci), in hopes of capturing her boyfriend, the title character, in the Italian “peplum” feature from MGM, Hercules Against The Barbarians, 1964.
