IMO, this is what makes these films so great and fun, and unique. Today's action films have none of this fascination aspect and I'm rarely impressed by any Hero or stories. The PEPLUM films from the Golden Era knew how to bring out the little kid in all of us.

What you said is the truth because I was part of that era, and that was why when growing up was asked who my favorite actor was I said STEVE REEVES not Cooper, Heston, or any of the others. My parents asked me why him and I'd say "He's the strongest man in the world." STEVE REEVES was an idol for many of us kids back in the late 50's & 60's.
Thanks for your input! I wasn't born back then but it's easy to see why Steve (and others) was it back then
