Scenes from HERCULES AGAINST THE SONS OF THE SUN (1964)
Last week, I posted a clip from this movie which showcased the excellent matte paintings in this movie. Above is a scene from that clip. Mind you, this is an action scene, not a set-up scene. The director was wise to use the matte work like this. Below is another excellent matte painting seen at the beginning of the movie (and not in the clip I posted). Overall, some of the best matte paintings I've seen in an Italian production. The artist (or artists) who created these is not credited.

Matte painting backgrounds are fascinating to me. On the one hand, look "convincing" enough, they give a sense of space, on the other hand, their color schemes and the shading create a feeling of otherworldlyness, which is great for fantastic movies.
