I hope to buy mine some day. <br />It's a pity but there also was a beautiful Athena's helmeted poster at the British Museum but precisely it is not available at present!Luculusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-47233516288924964302017-10-23T18:29:57.765-04:002017-10-23T18:29:57.765-04:00Thanks Gary!

Just buy Gary's EPIC FILMS and forget this one.PEPLUM TVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737965370930852596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-45319837754748645602017-10-23T12:06:36.527-04:002017-10-23T12:06:36.527-04:00Gary Allen Smith here and I am, quite rightly, ups...Gary Allen Smith here and I am, quite rightly, upset that McFarland would issue a book which uses material I wrote for another of their books. This was pointed out in another book review of this book that McFarland actually had the nerve to send me last week. <br /><br />On a happier note, I am always so happy to see others at this website who love these movies as much as I do.

I'll explain this in the reviews.<br /><br />Orsh549, yes THE CORSAIRS is fun film. I'm in Canada and because of copyrights situation, Amazon Prime doesn't have the same titles as main Amazon site so I can't see any of these titles (even though I already have them).<br /><br />Brrrodie, yes IL GRANDE LIBRO DE ERCOLE is quite a book. There are some particularities to it which I'll explain in my review. I particularly like the section with actors, and the little photos next to each name. Good idea.

I would not be surprised to see copy having been lifted, although I can't confirm it. Your criticisms are well-made.<br /><br />The best of the bunch is IL GRANDE LIBRO DE ERCOLE ... detailed, absorbing with tons of photos. Buy an Italian dictionary to go with or use Google Translate pointing at copy, it's all in Italian!<br />Brrrodie the Westiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264730463799876531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-49860339715130481712017-10-20T15:36:28.086-04:002017-10-20T15:36:28.086-04:00I have just watched 2 nights ago on Amazon Prime a...I have just watched 2 nights ago on Amazon Prime a rather fun filled pirate movie from 1970 entitled THE CORSAIRS with a few PEP stars in it and the lead was played by rock singer last name Dean. There's another one from 1970 which I will be watching called THE FIGHTING MUSKETEERS. The movie was in excellent shape the colors were awesome. The dubbing was a little off, but fun to watch anyway. Amazon has several new additions that they added to their Prime line up and they are free to watch. WARRIOR AND THE SLAVE GIRL is one that I have already watched 2X and is a beautiful print in widescreen.orsh549https://www.blogger.com/profile/13242424217251061672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-55420266735684108052017-10-20T15:28:19.248-04:002017-10-20T15:28:19.248-04:00Interesting to read about your latest acquisitions...Interesting to read about your latest acquisitions.<br /><br />Amazon's website in Italy has some good Peplums that are not sold by its US operation. Unfortunately, however, these DVDs lack either English dubbing or subtitles. <br /><br />Someone is missing a serious marketing opportunity here. <br /><br />Region codes do not bother me, as I have a fixed player, but ideally these films should also be offered in region code one.Scott Ochiltreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818902962971739002noreply@blogger.com
