At the Movies

Steve Reeves at the premiere of one of his films. What I find interesting about this photo is the beard. When you read contemporary reviews of old Sword & Sandal films, the reviewers always mention the fake beards of the heroes. When I read those reviews, I want to show photos like this one to tell them that no not all beards were fake and Steve's beard was definitely the real deal.

I always thought that Steve's beard was real. Seems that I was right. Thanks for showing this photo, anymore?

I have a lot of photos of Steve, who was probably the most photographed man on earth

Look like it was for Hercules (1958). Note Steve's bandaged left hand and compare with:
