The Peplum Renaissance: Hercules and the Captive Women - A Sword and Sandal Adventure
The winds have struck up from the East, blowing their breathe in to the sails. By the gods!!! It must be a sign of good fortune. By Zeus or is it Jupiter..I never get that right oh well… Yes you are right my travelers it’s is time for adventure-marauding pirates, earthquakes, mountains spewing hot ash and molten rock and some great unexplained beast to subdue..so come with me on a perilous voyage/quest. With the spray of the sea in our face we will persevere. It will be a most thrilling of times…******An early peplum starring the late Kirk Douglas as Ulysses-ULYSSES – 1954 (youtube.com)
Sound familiar. Well maybe not so much now but there was a time. And of late there has been a renewed interest in the peplum(sword & or sandal films), of what could be called- a long ago era. One that I hope resurrects itself in the Cinema & Television of today.
