Ursula Davis and Claudie Lange in THE INVINCIBLE BROTHERS MACISTE (1964)
When I watch these two ladies, my first thing I think: who dressed them up? You see, they live in an underground kingdom and how do they get all the stuff and cosmetics and fabrics to embellish these ladies. Where did they get the silver looking fabric? BTW, Claudie looks like a prettier Lady Gaga. Everything is clean and spotless. Not bad for an underground civilization. What's also interesting about PEPLUM movies is how the women's hairstyles bucked the trend of having short hairstyles. From the early 1950s to the late 1960s, the style for most actresses, in Hollywood and around the world, were short, short, short. Think of Doris Day. But somehow PEPLUM movies went against the trend and like Ursula here, many actresses of the PEPLUM genre sported long hair. Thankfully. It's so much prettier. It's a fun observation which I'll explain further one day. This movie is also one of those 'Unique' PEPLUM movies, which are totally different from the standard production of the time. I have to make a list of these 'Unique' PEPLUM movies.
