3.0 out of 5 starsNot Worth Its Weight
By William Amazzini on September 20, 2012
Format: DVD
Warner Archive has released Director Andre De Toth's 'GOLD FOR THE CAESARS' aka 'ORO PER I CESARI'- 1964, a film which hit theaters on the downward spiral of the sword and sandal genre or pepla as they were known in Europe. An Italian American co-production, it stars two actors Jeffrey Hunter and Ron Randall who were involved in another Epic lensed in Spain from Producer Samuel Bronston, Director Nicholas Ray's 'KING OF KINGS'- 1961 and has some good action sequences but fails to hold up its 90 minute running time due to its lacklustre script by Arnold Perl. Based on the a prizewinning historical novel by Florence A. Seward, it has Hunter playing a slave who happens to be a genius at architecture who is hired to oversee a Roman construction site and is promised his freedom if he can successfully deliver a gold mining operation. Unfortunately, he has hanky panky with the mistress of a senator played gloriously evil by Massimo Girotti who, needless to say, doesn't appreciate the lack of affection. In between the soap, we have some great elements interfering with the lovers: an approaching Celt army, Randall's equally villainous portrayal of a centurion working for Girotti and an avalanche at the mine. It may read well as described but it comes off as a really flat affair. Director De Toth, famous for having directed the Vincent Price Horror vehicle of 1953 'HOUSE OF WAX' in 3D despite having only one eye, does what he can with the script. Mylene Demongeot, who is very pretty, is wasted as Penelope, Hunter's inamorata and bounces back and forth in a tug of war between the male testosterone. Even the spectacular climax which was co-directed by Italian icon Riccardo Freda can't save the day. Although boasting a fine music score by Franco Mannino and nice images by Raffaele Masciocchi, the film emerges as a disappointment for both action and sword and sandal fans. Warner releases it as a DVD-R in a stunning 2.35 transfer with no extras. For Epic completists only.

5.0 out of 5 starsHigher end of the Spaghettii Sword & Sandal genre!
By Leo Hott on January 6, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
One thing is for sure fans of the Sword & sorcery genre or the Swashbuckler are not generally that picky unless the acting or special effects are so bad they crush all the fun out of the film we are pretty easy to please. All we are really looking for is some escapist action adventure to take us away for a hour or two on a rainy day! "Gold for the Caesar's" succeeds in doing just that. If you are familiar with the Spaghetti Sword & Sandal genre then you will be pleased to hear this movie is on the higher end of the scale compared to what you usually see in that genre. While Jeffery Hunter isn't sporting a Steve Reeves physique he doe's deliver as far as his acting talent. Most Sword & Sandal genre movies are very formulated & "Gold for the Caesar's" doesn't deviate as far as that's concerned. I think the most important thing for the potential purchaser of Sword & Sandal, Swashbuckler Or Sword & Sorcery genres want to know is what they are getting, is it the 50's 60's Technicolor epic style like "King Richard & the Crusaders" , "Ivanhoe", or "Robin Hood" or are they going to get the Spaghetti style like "Hercules" , "Last days of Pompeii" or "Giant of Marathon"& Gold for the Caesar's" falls into the second category. While not the best of this genre certainly not the worst either as I said earlier it is higher on the quality scale being more along the lines of quality of the Steve Reeves Sword & Sandal films instead of the hundreds of other Sword & Sandal film's centered around a muscle bound main character sporting some famous mighty man of olds name. "Gold for the Caesar's" is a fun film & as long as you know what your getting & are prepared is worth getting if your a fan of the genre.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsA cut above the rest.
By Russell S on May 19, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Well, I have to say this old 1963 "sword and sandal" epic was a cut above the rest. There were a few "more mainstream" actors that you may recognize from American movies at the time and not the usual cast of bad Italian actors. There are still the dubbed voices and the Styrofoam rocks that cascade down cliffs but not too bad. We do get a very young Jeffrey Hunter (OMG) as the slave architect building Rome's bridges in Gaul. The emperor wants gold, and they have to deal with the Celts to get it. The lone (main) female star? awesomely BAD! Her name may have been Mylene Demongeot and with any luck she never worked again.

4.0 out of 5 starsEnjoyable without greatness
By Carl E. Ramsey on February 17, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Gold for the Caesars is enjoyable without showing signs of great movie making. It follows a most interesting historical novel loosely, and gets at least one historical event wrong. The Roma emperor who immediately follows evil Diocletion is old Nervii. Trajan comes later. However, I would watch it again for entertainment value.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot his best, but not his worst my any means
By Obsessive Cat Disorder on May 31, 2014
Format: DVD
I found this an enjoyable movie. Not Hunter's best, but it is fun and moves fairly well. I would definitely recommend this. There are few 'great' movies, so I find it silly to even rate it against movies of that caliber. It is still entertaining and I have watched it several times.
