Regarding the post above which mentions women's long hairstyles, peplum films were oblivious to trends in the 50s / 60s and quite rightly so because they had to reflect the historical periods they depicted where women's hair was invariably kept long or pinned up. I wouldn't have expected anything else.

I do though remember the stark contrast Irene Papas made with short, badly-cropped hair as a sign of mourning in Electra (1962):

There's a good number of PEPLUM movies with contemporary hairstyles. Look at Mylene Demongeot in GOLD FOR CEASRS. Very 1960s. But fortunately the majority of them didn't follow trends.
