GOLIATH AND THE SINS OF BABYLON (1963, Anamorphic Widescreen) Mark Forest, José Greci, Giuliano Gemma, Erno Crisa, Paul Muller. Our hero helps a small kingdom (that is forced to make a yearly tribute of 30 young virgins to the Kingdom of Babylon) fight for its freedom. Lots of action and pulsating pecks in this superior sword and sandal thriller, including some cool scenes in the gladiator arena. Mark Forest probably never looked better in what is truly one of most memorable sword and sandal films. Released in the States by AIP. Beautiful color, from a 35mm anamorphic widescreen 35mm print.
HERCULES AGAINST THE MONGOLS (1964, Anamorphic) Mark Forest, Jose Greci, Ken Clark, Grazia Maria Spina. In this loose follow-up to Hercules against the Barbarians, Forest finds himself in the fight of his life against the three sons of Genghis Khan. The three sons all have their eye on a beautiful princess. Hercules stands between them. One of Forest's final peplum films and it's a pretty good one. From a beautiful color 35mm anamorphic widescreen print.
