PEPLUM Cliché : Washing Up On Shore (updated)

Updated and posted in the PEPLUM Clichés permanent page.

This cliché is an easy way to start a story where our characters can start anew in a completely different setting.

 Alan Steel in HERCULES AND THE BLACK PIRATE

 The crew of the Argo from JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS

 Jacques Sernas in GODDESS OF LOVE

 Kirk Morris is rescued from the beach in CONQUEROR OF ATLANTIS

 Lex Barker is not immune to the cliché; from ROBIN HOOD AND THE PIRATES

Cleopatra (Pascale Petit) is saved by Pompeii (Akim Tamiroff) in A QUEEN FOR CAESAR

Ombretta Colli & Steve Reeves in SON OF SPARTACUS

Mark Forest in HERCULES AGAINST THE SONS OF THE SUN

Jacques Sernas, again, in HELEN OF TROY

Brad Harris, Gloria Milland & friends in GOLIATH AND THE GIANTS

Nothing so involves me into a story but when the very strong becomes the very weak, thusly learning humility for probably the first time. "I've never been weak before. Now I am as vulnerable as the little person." Oh, well.
