Esther and the King   1960     1 star    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.

  Bounty hunter Blade (Maurizio Merli) starts out in this late spaghetti Western by throwing his hatchet at, cutting off the hand of, and capturing bad guy Curt (Donald O'Brien).

But Blade is saved by Burt, who Blade freed after not being able to get a reward. After learning to shoot by sound rather than sight, Blade gets his revenge.
