Devil's Cavaliers (1959)



Original title: I Cavalieri del Diavolo

Sword. Italy. Starring Frank Latimore, Gianna Maria Canale, Anthony Steffen & Andrea Aureli. Directed by Siro Marcellini.

Worldwide Video (Holland). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Very dated and stiff costume adventure with lots of jolly (read: annoying) song and dance numbers. 2/5

The Invincible Brothers Maciste (1964)



Original title: Gli Invincibili Fratelli Maciste

Peplum. Italy. Starring Richard Lloyd, Tony Freeman, Claudie Lange, Anthony Steffen & Ursula Davis. Directed by Roberto Mauri.

Force Video (USA). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Very cheezy peplum with the dull Maciste brothers fighting an evil witchqueen and her henchmen in her underground dungeons. It works as 90 minutes of dumb/surreal entertainment for a lazy afternoon, I guess... 2/5

Sodom and Gomorrah (1962)



Biblical. USA/Italy/France. Starring Stewart Granger, Stanley Baker, Rik Battaglia, Pier Angeli, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart, Anthony Steffen, Gabriele Tinti & Daniele Vargas. Directed by Robert Aldrich & Sergio Leone (uncredited).

Wahlters Video (Sweden). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

This biblical film is not badly made, and has a fairly high budget (a real Hollywood director, a fading american movie star and all), but it's a little too stuffy and preachy for my taste. I guess it's a trapping of the genre and that biblical films simply isn't my thing. In this flick I rooted for the decadent sodomites and not the goody-two-shoes christians. The destruction scenes were pretty impressive though - engineered by Sergio Leone no less. 2/5
