The Son of Cleopatra (1964)

United Artists
Directed by Ferdinando Baldi
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Retromedia)

Boring desert soap opera starring Mark Damon as "El Kebir", the half Roman/half Egyptian hero of the people. He clashes with local Roman ruler Petronio and falls in love with his daughter. The action scenes are dull, the plot meandering and the dubbing terrible. The full frame print on the Retromedia disc is pan and scan, severely diminishing the impact of the original Techniscope photography.
