    Where to Watch

Edmund Purdom plays the Judean king in this Biblical melodrama. Miriam: Sylvia Lopez. Sarah: Sandra Milo. Octavius: Massimo Girotti. Directed by Arnaldo Genoino.

An Italian biblical costume-epic heavy on scantily clad women. The film covers the ending of Herod's reign from his defeated alliance with Anthony to his death following his infamous dictate to kill all the newly born males in his kingdom. A lot of sex, glitter, and poor dubbing.
