Gordon Scott? <br /><br />They used to show these a lot on television back in the day. They infrequently get shown on cable and satellite these days.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-10979474578552469502011-01-18T20:41:54.521-08:002011-01-18T20:41:54.521-08:00Good lord, I didn't even know they made movies...Good lord, I didn't even know they made movies like this.

They show a lot of old stuff including Italian westerns and other Euro genre fare. The only two sword and sandal movies I've seen on there are this one and WARRIOR & THE SLAVE GIRL (1958) also reviewed here. Both were widescreen and in English.

Looks pretty good to my eyes.<br /><br />Must say I really enjoy many of Grieco's movies - right from his pepla to his spy stuff to his more exploative 70s stuff. The Queen of the Tartars, Fantastic Argoman and the mega-sleazy trash classic Violence For Kicks are big favorites for me.Lars Jacobssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391509973612529806noreply@blogger.com
