Ok, so the casting leaves something to be desired but I still quite enjoyed this sword and sandals adventure - Hollywood style. This time, it's the fearsome Atilla (Jack Palance) who is threatening ruin on the two empires that emerged from the once mighty Rome. The eastern half is ruled from Constantinople by the spineless Theodosius (George Dolenz) who is quite happy to bribe their would be conqueror and leave him…
