FIRE MONSTERS AGAINST THE SON OF HERCULES (1962, Anamorphic Widescreen) Reg Lewis, Margaret Lee, Luciano Marin. Before they changed his name to Maxxus for a Son of Hercules film, this movie was about Maciste, who stumbles upon two warring tribes: Sun worshipers and Moon worshipers. He saves the Sun worshipper’s leader from a monster and falls for lusty Margaret Lee, who’s taken by the Moon worshipers. Maciste of course comes to her rescue, battling villains and monsters along the way. Great color, From a nice 35mm print.
THE CENTURION (1962, Anamorphic Widescreen) Jacques Sernas, Genevieve Grad, John Drew Barrymore, Gianna Maria Canale, Gordon Mitchell. Fine sword & sandal fare with Sernas as a Roman official sent to Greece to prevent war between Rome and Corinth. He finds himself at odds with Barrymore’s group of freedom fighters. Lots of cool battle scenes. Great cast and script, with great jobs by Barrymore and Sernas. Aka Conqueror of Corinth. Very good color, from 35mm.
