Musings!
Atlas (Gordon Mitchell) tries to push a boulder down to block a road in ATLAS IN THE LAND OF THE CYCLOPS (1961)
This is one of the best PEPLUM musclemen movies as it hits all the right PEPLUM buttons in one movie, including this familiar action. I can think of a dozen movies with just this rock pushing action. It's fun. There's nothing more to it. It's just fun stuff. The movie is smogasborg of everything PEPLUM.

HD Alert!
Scenes from LAND OF THE PHARAOHS (1955) starring Jack Hawkins
Not an alert but just that I got it in HD. The image is a clear upgrade to the DVD. Colors are really rich. My one complaint is the movie seems to have a reddish tint to it. Interior scenes are nice but exterior scenes, like the one below, are spectacular. Well worth buying.
