Freeloaders? Yeah but not a threat. Some of them appeared defenceless and even goofy while Ulysses looked demented. Even Penelope was shocked by his violent massacre. It is one of the best PEPLUMS ever made. Some parts of it are quasi-magical. I just wished the ending wasn't so blunt.PEPLUM cinemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052922198741178249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-45433271210195121612011-03-13T14:57:19.803-04:002011-03-13T14:57:19.803-04:00One of the best peplum movies ever made.

The ending is no where near as violent as the tv miniseries version. You must remember that in ancient times it was a very violent era and he was defending his throne and his PENELOPE. CARLO PONTI films were always well produced and directed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
