(1962, aka THE AVENGER) Steve Reeves, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart, Carla Marlier, Mario Ferrari. Reeves, the epitome of the perfect sword and sandal hero, plays the rugged Aeneas, who becomes involved with Etruscans, Trojans, and (of course) a really good-looking princess. He leads refugees from the Trojan War to seek out a new life and new lands in Italy. He soon has to deal with all kinds of new threats and intrigue as his Trojan warriors take on the evil Etruscans to preserve their honor. A nice upgrade from all the pan and scan video transfers (including our own) that have flooded the market for years. Widescreen, color, from 35mm.
