Musings!


Daniela Rocca in COLOSSUS AND THE AMAZON QUEEN (1960)

Daniela plays a leader of Amazons. According to myth, Amazons were one-breasted women. Removing one breast is kinda gruesome but in this movie, thanks to some clever costumes, the Amazons have one breast hanging out while the other is camouflaged, giving the illusion of being one-breasted. I really like this. Quite ingenious. This movie is fun to watch, for many reasons. The excellent sets are from SIEGE OF SYRACUSE (1960). Like almost all Amazon movies, it's a 'Battle of the Sexes' story as I wrote in the latest issue of BY THE GODS!

Isn't there an awful parrot in it?

Really dug the Amazon costumes here. This movie is silly but good looking and I like it.
