Review of The Colossus of Rhodes (1961) by Steve E — 28 Feb 2009
They just don't make em like this anymore. Gladiator pales in comparison. This film has beautiful sets indoors/outdoors, a well photographed image, with great Antiquity sets that look real. The acting is good.
But it's a bit long, and a little confusing, otherwise this is a Classic Epic Sword and Sandals, directed by an experienced Sergio Leone who had previously worked on a few historical epic films, among them ; Ben Hur and Quo Vadis.
A bit long, but worth it.
