Musings!


Alessandra Panaro is in a tight situation in THE SECRET MARK OF D'ARTAGNAN (1962)

Torture scenes are common in PEPLUM movies. It's one of the most predictable things when watching them. The majority of the folks being tortured are men but there's quite a few PEPLUM movies with women being tortured. This is definitely one of the best or should I say worse? Anyway, the movie is vey well made and is, in general, quite family friendly, but then there's this scene and we're in almost horror territory. This happens a lot. Movies can go from quaint to shocking in a nano second.
