Esther and the King 1960  N/R, 109 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Raoul Walsh
Cast: Joan Collins, Richard Egan, Denis O'Dea, Sergio Fantoni, Rik Battaglia, Renato Baldini, Gabriele Tinti, Daniela Rocca, Robert Buchanan, Folco Lulli
This is a weary, biblical tale set in fourth century B.C. Persia and tells the story of the Persian King (Richard Egan), his dealing with the Persian hatred of the Jews, and of Jewish woman Esther (Joan Collins) who was to become his bride. Director Walsh must have been tiring of his trade, or of the subject matter, since there is no conviction in the players.

Based on the 490 B.C. Greek marathon runner who ran from Marathon to Athens to warn of Persian attacks and to Sparta to get assistance in the defense of Greece, there are many liberties taken as our hero (Steve Reeves) takes charge of the fighting and saves the Athenians, Greece, and even the rest of Europe from the dastardly Persians.
