Jupiter's Darling (1955) ***

Actually, the title should have been "Hannibal's Darling", since neither Jupiter, nor any other Roman god, appears in the film. Set during the Punic Wars, it's the story of the fiancee of the Roman dictator who seduces Hannibal to save her city. Musical numbers:

"If This Be Slav'ry"  *
"I Have A Dream"  **
"Hannibal's Victory March"  **
"I Never Trust A Woman" **
"Don't Let This Night Get Away"  **
"The Life Of An Elephant"  *
