Quiz
Carlo Rambaldi was the responsible for the Cyclops special effects. He received credit as "creazione animate", which translates to "animated creation".

Blooper
The 'giant' cyclops is clearly just a guy in a suit, most obvious whenever one of its muscular attackers leaps over and hangs onto it, and they transform into a small skinny boy (obviously in an attempt to make it appear much larger).

Citazioni
Regina Gaia: [to Giasone/Jason] We're both like trees which produce a marvelous fruit that no one is allowed to gather.

THE GIANTS OF THESSALY (Riccardo Freda, 1960) **1/2

This is an earlier version of the same events narrated in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963), arguably the screen's finest mythological epic and Ray Harryhausen's magnum opus, and it's a reasonably intelligent and enjoyable retelling in which, surprisingly, even the comic relief works. Still, Roland Carey makes for a colorless Jason - but Massimo Girotti is a suitably morose Orpheus, though his contribution is minimal and was probably only featured for marquee value!

Though a subsequent effort - MACISTE ALL' INFERNO (1962) - proved a disappointment, Riccardo Freda's involvement here ensures that this is one of the better peplums, even if the result is rather static and hokey overall (particularly the cheap-looking Cyclops). Besides, Carlo Rustichelli's score - which may have been borrowed from some other film or was perhaps re-used, as it sounded oddly familiar to me! - is pretty good...
