Goliath et l'Hercule noir (1963)

Review by boblipton

Goliath et l'Hercule noir

6/10

Peplum

Gordon Scott is Gordian. He gets involved in the politics of Lydia. Alexander the Great has his army on the border. So does Persia. There's also Princess Ombretta Colli, whom Mr. Scott rescues and brings to Alexander. Alexander wants to make nice with Lydia, so he imposes her on that nation. Soon enough Mimmo Palmara is in charge, and it's up to Mr. Scott and bodybuilder Serge Nubret to deal with the matter.

I'm not fond of peplum movies. There is a lot to admire in them, and this in particular: the camerawork is beautiful, the sets are grand, the costumes are cute and so forth. These visual images are important in any movie. What I don't like about them are the foolish plots, the barely concealed homoerotic content and, of course, the way the American voicework is performed. Everything is important! Everyone speaks in the same tone of voice! That means that there is no emotional content to anything anyone says!

That's not really an indictment of the actual production, just of its presentation. Because I know what annoys me about this genre, I can discount those factors. With that in mind, this looks like a good one.
