I usually post about movies released on DVD or Blu-ray here at BY THE GODS! but recently I got a bunch of titles missing from my collection and I’m really happy about it. Two of these titles have been eluding me for over a decade.
THE APOCALYPSE or L’apocalisse, released in 1947. It stars Massimo Serato (above), who’s excellent in it. The copies are less than perfect but the movie is so good it didn’t matter. I’ll have a full review of this in the soon to be published BY THE GODS! magazine.
Another hard to get title is JACOB AND ESAU (1963). Nothing about this movie since I began working on my blog and Youtube channel. I even wrote about it here. Now I got two copies. They are in black and white even if the movie was originally shot in colour. It was the one Ken Clark (above) movie that eluded me. I hope to get this one in colour one day.
The other titles are THE PHARAOHS’ WOMAN (1960), in widescreen. It stars Linda Cristal (above), Pierre Brice, John Drew Barrymore and Armando Francioli (above), who gives an excellent performance. The copy is still battered and old but the colours are better than the previous version and it’s in widescreen. Great film!
And A SWORD IN THE SHADOWS (1961) tarring Germano Longo in what might be one of the best villains in PEPLUM history. It also stars Mario Valdemarin. A nice widescreen print in Italian.
I’ll be getting additional titles soon. Stay tuned!
