Sonia (Ombretta Colli) is about to nurse Atlas (Kirk Morris) back to health in ATLAS AGAINST THE CZAR (1964)
A common plot point in PEPLUM movies: the Hero being nursed back to health, mainly by a woman, but it also happens with a man, usually some elderly man or High Priest. In this, Atlas (or Maciste in the original) was poisoned and Sonia got an antidote from a...shaman-type of man who lives in a cave. So two plot points in one. Of course, Atlas comes back stronger than ever to wreak havoc on those who tried to kill him. I like this movie. To some, the title might be odd but it doesn't matter. It's a colourful and entertaining PEPLUM.
