Musings!


Gordon Scott and Gianna Maria Canale in THE LION OF ST MARK (1963) 

Solid action/adventure film: great cast, production, music, script. It's always nice to see a good old action movie done well. This was one of Scott's more solid outings. It's not the first film to star Scott and Canale together. Canale was good in it as well. She did a bunch of Swashbuckler type of movies which was uncommon for women back then. She's good in all of them. There's a Blu-ray from Germany but I haven't bought it yet. When the cost of shipping is more than the product itself, well, I'm not buying it.

  1. Check around the internet. Amazon Germany isn't the only source to buy this. I have it and it's a very nice looking disc.

  2. LION has great scenes with Venice palaces, canals, boats and festivals

  3. I'm aware that I could buy BD from Germany from other places. The only thing about AMAZON is the fact that they take care of the duties and customs from their end so there's nothing to deal with it. It's not the same with other sellers.

  4. Things must be different with the postal service in Canada. I had nothing to deal with either and I bought my directly from a German company.
