GOLIATH AND THE DRAGON

(La vendetta di Ercole)
A film directed by Vittorio Cottafavi
1960 - 87 minutes - Color - Mono - 2.35

Synopsis

While  strongman Goliath is busy battling a fire-spewing three-headed doggie and a giant bat-monster in the "Cave  of  Horrors,"  his  brother Illus  has made the mistake of falling in love with the bride-to-be of evil King Eurystheus (played by Broderick Crawford). Responsible for  the death  of  Goliath's parents, Eurystheus captures Illus and sentences him to death. Worse, a centaur  kidnaps  Goliath's  wife  and  delivers her  to  the  temperamental  tyrant.  Naturally,  Goliath  goes ballistic, flexes his muscles, and clobbers all the king's men.
