US lobby cards set of GODDESS OF LOVE (1957) starring Belinda Lee, Jacques Sernas, and Massimo Girotti. Not bad but should have contained a few more stand-out scenes from the film, like the one on the beach. I guess that was too racy. The best card is the top right one. This set proves the movie was released in English, the English version is still missing in action.
I saw this last week and just wrote about it myself, as I particularly like Belinda Lee (who was killed in a car accident in 1961, she did quite a few peplums circa that great year for them 1960). Sernas was also of course in Helen of Troy in 1955, and this film (also known as Aphrodite) also starts with him lying on the beach as a beauty approaches...
ReplyDeleteWould love to have this movie in English. I remember seeing this on TV way back in the 60's, but it was a really watered down version. I wish someone would also have released a dubbed in English version of SIEGE OF SYRACUSE which I saw in the movies when it was released in English.
ReplyDeleteMichael: id you see it in English?
ReplyDeleteSR, I agree on both titles
No, Italian dialogue with English sub-titles - with original name of 'Le Venere de Cheronea'.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. I've been looking for this film in English or at least with English subs. Was it something you saw broadcast on TV or it's a copy you own?
ReplyDeleteA dvd-r copy which a friend gave me, which he got from a friend in New York (we are in London).
ReplyDeletePS - I could copy it for you ... (also got Attila, the Anthony Quinn one, in English with Greek subtitles, Giant of Marathon, Gold for the Caesears, Nefertiti Queeen of the Nile, Albert Sordi's comedy Two Nights with Cleopatra with Loren.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a copy for sure. I have the other titles you mentioned but GOL with English subs would be cool.
