Musings!


The cast of ATLAS IN THE LAND OF THE CYCLOPS (1962) 

That's Chelo Alonso, as Capys. Gordon Mitchell (back) as Atlas, or Maciste in original. Dante DiPaolo as Iphitos. And Paul Wynter as Mumba. Missing in this shot are Aldo Bufi Landi, Vira Silenti and Raffaella Carrà. But the main players are these 4 actors. A true international cast as Chelo is Cuban, Paul is from Antigua but became a Bitish citizen. Gordon Mitchell and Dante are Americans. Of course, Dante is of Italian heritage. I always like scenes like this in which all the lead actors are together. This is one of them PEPLUM movies that's often overlooked but imo, it's a classic. Everything in it is excellent: cast, production, script, effects, sets, music and dance number.
 You can't go wrong with this movie.
