Photo of the Day

Epic scene from GOLIATH & THE GIANTS

I got hold of an HD Italian-only version of this film. It's quite nice and filled with details. To see a bigger picture of above click on it. It's beautiful and I'm amazed that these forgotten PEPLUM films are getting transferred to HD, in Europe at least. It's a very good sign for the genre's future.

  1. Man, that is a sharp image. As you say, glad to see some Peps getting the high def treatment.

  2. Who (studio/country) released the blu-ray and under what title, please? I have the English dubbed Italian DVD (which looks beautiful), and I would not mind getting the HD version for improving the picture. Thanks.

  3. I meant: further improving the picture. (Otherwise this Italian DVD - released by Ripley's Hone Video - is gorgeous. I hope the HD transfer came from the same print. If so, the picture quality of the GOLIATH... Blu-ray should rival that of the Ben-Hur or Cleopatra HD releases.)

  4. Someone gave me this copy via internet so I don't know where they got it but I have the DVD of GATG and the transfered copy is much sharper. Might be from an HD TV broadcast.
