Hawk of the Carribean (1963)

Original title: Lo Sparviero dei Caraibi

Pirate yarn. Italy. Starring Johnny Desmond, Yvonne Monlaur, Armando Francioli, Piero Lulli & Luigi Batzella. Directed by Piero Regnoli.

EKO (UK). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Colorful and highly entertaining pirate-swashbuckler with big band singer Johnny Desmond (of all people) . Johnny's not so much an actor as a bundle of charm, he should have starred in more films! One of the best of its kind! 4/5

Rampage of Evil (1961)

Original title: Capitani di Ventura

Sword. Italy. Starring Mario Petri, Paul Muller, Wandisa Guida, Luigi Batzella & Gérard Landry. Directed by Angelo Dorigo.

Broadway Video (Holland). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Fun swashbuckler that must have felt old-fashioned even on it's 1961 release. Pretty violent for this kind of film though. Easily confused with another early sicties italian adventure film called Rampage of Evil (Il Capitano di Ferro) starring gothic horror queen Barbara Steele (let me know if you have that one!). 3/5
