*Hercules Against The Mongols (1963) and similar items

Vintage original 27 x 41 in. US one-sheet poster from the 1960's Italian-produced adventure drama, HERCULES AGAINST THE MONGOLS (Italian title: Maciste contro i Mongoli), released in the US in 1963 by American International Pictures (AIP) and directed by Domenico Paoella. Though Genghis Khan eventually sought peace with the West, his death in 1227 AD puts into power his three war-like sons: Sayan, Susdal, and Kin Khan. These sons quickly overrun the city of Tuleda and take prisoner Princess Bianca, though young Prince Alessio escapes. Hercules comes to the rescue of Bianca, winning her freedom in a tournament in exchange for becoming a slave himself. Forces from the West soon come to re-take Tuleda and Hercules -- freed from his bonds -- helps to dispatch Genghis Khan's three sons while again saving Bianca and reuniting her with her young brother. Printed for the film's original US theatrical release by AIP, it is unrestored and folded as originally issued in fine+ condition as shown. The cast includes Mark Forest, Jose Greci, Ken Clarke, Nadir Baltimore, and Renato Rossini. A fun beefcake image!
