I have found the identical photo on the Internet and it says it is a shot from the movie "Helen of Troy." <br /><br />Pier Angeli's coarse dress would indicate a slave girl, so this may be correct.Scott Ochiltreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818902962971739002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-37050976093641523372014-12-14T18:40:42.805-05:002014-12-14T18:40:42.805-05:00Richard, yes it's the same footage.Richard, yes it's the same footage.PEPLUM TVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737965370930852596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-33092281372291307582014-12-14T18:00:33.057-05:002014-12-14T18:00:33.057-05:00This is one film that simply would not work.

Am I imagining this, or was the same footage used for the end of "Hercules and the Tyrants of Babylon" or some other peplum?Richard Svenssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379574381914082334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-3077368034601398112014-12-13T14:06:24.100-05:002014-12-13T14:06:24.100-05:00I have never had any qualms about this movie becau...I have never had any qualms about this movie because I thought it was good entertainment and I didn't take the movie seriously.
