Many reviewers have expressed a quiet affection for this film. And rightly so.
Steve Reeves does well and seems to be enjoying himself.
I liked the quest for the blue rose: the seven gates with the strangler trees, the cloak of invisibility, the dangerous lady in white, etc.
The special effects were credible considering that the film is more than fifty years old
I enjoyed the pearls-from-shooting-stars ruse.
Carlo Rustichelli's score supported the action without resorting to Arabian Nights clichés.
A colourful, entertaining film reminiscent of those Saturday matinees.
