Samson and the 7 Miracles of the World (1961)

It’s muscleman versus the Mongols in this sword-and-sandal movie, originally titled Maciste alla corte del Gran Khan. Gordon Scott is the titular hero, whether known as Samson, Maciste, or (as in another alternate title) Goliath, and he wanders through Asia in his skimpy garb, trying to assist a Chinese prince and princess fend off the evil machinations of the Mongols. The story moves right along, aided by sets left over from a higher-budget production. Fans of the genre will likely enjoy the unusual setting.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.

Movie 568 for 2021.
