Fantasy films sometimes do fall under the PEPLUM umbrella even though I have some reluctance to include them (just look at the link with the list of titles). THE MAGIC SWORD with Gary Lockwood and Basil Rathbone is definitely a PEPLUM so why not this one? Fantasy films like LORD OF THE RINGS are borderline PEP but just so because of the whole sci-fi/fantasy/other-wordly elements to them but LEGEND is a fairly basic fairytale so here it is. The production design of LEGEND is utterly brilliant. The script is utterly terrible. A mixed bag.
