Production

Director Vari filmed at CSC Studios.[2] Rome Against Rome was the second last film by the production company Galatea studio and the film historian Tim Lucas described as representing the end of the peplum cycle as it was a "victim of the burgeoning "Spaghetti Western" movement".[3]

Release

Rome Against Rome was distributed theatrically in Italy by Cineriz on February 13, 1964.[1][4] Lucas noted that the original English export print titled Rome Against Rome was dubbed under the direction of Tony Russel and that its soundtrack was "a chaotic mess".[4] The film was cut for foreign release with its original 110 minute running cut to 97 minutes for its British release as Rome Against Rome and cut further on its American release for American International Pictures as War of the Zombies.[4]

Reception

In his book Italian Horror Film Directors, Louis Paul described the film as " a visually arresting and colorful but minor contribution to both the horror film genre and the heroic adventure sagas from which its origins sprung."[5]
