    D: Edgar G. Ulmer
    Victor Mature, Rita Gam, Gabriele Ferzetti,
    Rik Battaglia, Milly Vitale, Franco Silva
The Great Victor plays the Carthaginian general who famously terrorized Rome by bringing elephants over the Alps. Mature might look (and act) like a figure in a wax museum, but he had the advantage of not taking himself too seriously, and, anyway, somebody had to play Hannibal, so why not Victor Mature?
