Photo(s) of the Day

Iloosh Khoshabe, dubbed the Iranian Hercules, has passed away a few days ago so in a tribute here are some photos from his PEPLUM films. Iloosh might not have been the greatest actor but he was unforgettable addition to the PEPLUM genre. What I liked about him is that he really looked Mediterranean. RIP!
