HELEN OF TROY (1956), directed by Robert Wise, and LAND OF THE PHARAOHS (1955), directed by Howard Hawks, will both be available on Blu-ray in July 2023. This is great news. Both releases are from new restorations and with brand new 4K scans. So, they should look spectacular. LAND OF THE PHARAOHS always looked great but HELEN OF TROY DVD release was murky at best. More on these once I get a hold of them.

Regarding roles that Steve Reeves missed out on, I believe that Reeves has been quoted as saying that Joseph E. Levine thought of him for the role of The Man With No Name in A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS.
I’ve heard that, but I don’t know how accurate that statement is.
