Il ladro di Bagdad (1961)
Please release it on DVD
I don't often beg but please release it on DVD. Make an old man happy. This is another of the marvellous range of Steve Reeves movies that came out in the 60s. I think this is my favourite because it is almost a comedy. It simply has an air of cheerfulness, joy and happiness about it, which you can't really say about any other of his films. The supporting cast is also excellent with a soundtrack that I remember fondly. Reading these comments, if anyone does, you may realise that I am padding to get in the 10 lines of text that are the minimum. The point of the comment is to try to get someone to release it so to reiterate - some company release it - it's better than some of the dross that comes out.
La guerra di Troia (1961)
DVD butchered
I saw this in the cinema in the early 60s. Fantastic film. So you can guess how happy I was on finding I could order the DVD. But, unless there's something wrong with my machine, they have senselessly butchered the DVD by deleting around 10 vital minutes at the end. The DVD I have moves straight from Paris's death to the sight of the refugees leaving Troy. No scenes showing Aeneas fighting his way from prison to the Palace, killing Ajax on the way, finding his new born son by the body of Creusa who has died in child birth and leading the survivors though burning Troy. It unbalances the whole thing. The DVD I have is from Belle and Blade Studios. Anybody know where I can get a proper version of the film?
