Roland Carey and Maria Grazia Spina in REVOLT OF THE BARBARIANS (1964)
I like this movie and it has a pretty good production, even with it's limited budget. But it's one of those PEPLUM movies only fans of the genre likes or remembers. This is why PEPLUM movies are so overlooked. Non-PEPLUM fans will like DUEL OF THE TITANS or GOLIATH AND THE VAMPIRES but don't have any time for these type of smaller PEPLUM movies. Both Roland and Maria have appeared in many such movies.
Both Duel of the Titans and Goliath and the Vampires had the advantage of being given a theatrical release in the U.S. Not so with so many of the others which showed up on TV in terrible pan and scan prints.
ReplyDeleteYes...but we're talking about movies released 60 years ago. Most people who have seen DUEL or GOLIATH and are fans of them today have seen it on TV, in most likely the same pan and scan quality. Most fans, like me, haven't even been born when those two films were released.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can say that "most fans" are younger. I would suspect that many fans of this genre saw the movies when they first came out and remained fans to the present day. I was not a fan of the films I saw in terrible TV copies when I was growing up but the ones shown theatrically were an entirely different matter and they truly impressed me.

ReplyDeleteMaria was most attractive. Is she still alive?
