Goliath at the Conquest of Damascus
4.4/10
Goliath may be a villain in the Bible, but he's a good guy so far as the makers of this sword-and-sandal epic are concerned. Played by Rock Stevens (we'll just bet) that's his real name, Goliath comes to the aid of one King Selim. The villains have appropriated Selim's throne, and the Big One endeavors to get it back. Mario Petri costars in this Eastmancolor extravaganza. Goliath at the Conquest of Damascus was issued to television as part of the "Sons of Hercules" package.
