Musings!


Lith (Pamela Prati) hits Isa (Elvire Audray) in IRONMASTER (1983) 

Last Thursday, I wrote about how PEPLUM films always have two main actresses and there's always an the awkward moment when the two meet. IRONMASTER is no different. This is the awkward moment. I like this movie. It's one of my favourite from the 1980s. Umberto Lenzi is the director and it's well made as Lenzi was a veteran by then. Even after 20+ years, the formula of PEPLUM movies never changed. This includes the duel between Sam Pasco and Giovanni Cianfriglia (below). Good scene. Giovanni was Steve Reeves' stuntman/body double and he was still in good form in the early 1980s.
