Carthage in Flames

Produced and copyright dated 1959 in Italy, the film was picked up by the Rank Organisation and passed by the British Board of Film Censors on 31 August 1960 with a 'U' certificate (suitable for unaccompanied children). Premiered at the Odeon, Marble Arch, on 10 November 1960, it enjoyed a fairly average three week run. For the general release at normal prices on 4 December 1960, Rank selected psychological thriller Danger Tomorrow (1960) as the supporting film.

When the Carthaginians get Zur from the battlefield to the camp, a dead Roman soldier raises his head several times.
