Alan Steel in SAMSON AND THE LOST TREASURE OF THE INCAS (1964)
This movie started as a PEPLUM but was switched at the last minute into a Western setting after the success of Sergio Leone's A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964). It still feels and looks like a PEPLUM movie so a hybrid was created: PEPLUM Western. This is not the only PEPLUM Western out there. This screenshot is from a HD print from a RAI TV broadcast. I have to say that the print is the best one yet (even though it needed a bit of colour correction. It's on the reddish side...). The details are amazing but the vertical of the image is squished, making everyone look a bit taller than they are. But I have no complaints. Alan looks amazing as usual.
