Two decades before she would gain fame and some fortune as Alexis Carrington on Dynasty (1981), Dame Joan Collins starred as Esther in this melodramatic, routine Biblical story. The setting is Persia in the fourth century B.C., as Esther comes to the attention of the recently widowed King Ahasuerus.

The King has been trying to stifle and defeat the campaign of hatred fomented against the Jews by his evil minister Haman (Sergio Fantoni). Before the King can pair off with Esther and defeat the villainous Haman, there are several intervening adventures and an additional, attractive woman who competes for attention.

Directed by Raoul Walsh, Mario Bava

Written by Raoul Walsh, Michael Elkins

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Radrook Admin: Yes, sooner or later this entire website will disappear with everything posted on it for lack of finding someone to take over when I croak. But it won't be because you folks are refusing to respond. That I can guarantee. Feb 26, 2023 7:10:41 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: That's one reason why I stopped providing long insights into the chess games I play. It's like speaking to the wall. Feb 26, 2023 7:06:45 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Funny how I can have approx. 400 people at one point browsing, and not one of them wants to give feedback nor participate in any way manner or form. Not even a simple click with a like. Feb 26, 2023 7:03:49 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Funny how these discussion forums were all the rage once until Twitter and YouTube and other such discussion venues came along. Feb 13, 2023 8:40:52 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: I wish visitors would say something instead of just reading and leaving in silence. Or at the least, at least have the courtesy to rate the material. Feb 4, 2023 21:26:37 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Thinking that doctors are beyond criticism no matter what is a cultural trait I do not share. Feb 3, 2023 12:48:59 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Reporting physician malpractice might save someone else from getting murdered. Jan 31, 2023 9:10:52 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Funny how nobody believes you when you describe physician malpractice until it happens to them-isn't it. Jan 30, 2023 21:13:57 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Just restored the History section. Hopefully this one won't disappear like the last one did. Jan 25, 2023 16:37:13 GMT -5
