Featured review
Sandals film goes BuddyMovie: Georges Marchal and Michael Lane as pretty much best friends
After Poseidon's favorite Polyphemos is blinded, Heracles (US muscleman Mike Lane) is supposed to bring the clever Odysseus (Georges Marchal) to reason. The demigod doesn't need to be told twice and takes the scheming schemer from Ithaca to task. Of course, this cannot be achieved without complications. In the face of impending dangers from outside, the two hunky musclemen pull together and realize the value of true male friendship...
Director Mario Caiano has presented an at least unusual approach to the peplum genre by essentially discovering the buddy movie in the sandal film. Of course, there are also beautiful women who need to be saved from numerous dangers. Alessandra Panaro, Dominique Boschero and the Italian television legend Raffaella Carra take on this task.
It was shot on the Canary Islands, which is also rather unusual for a sandal film. 341,000 tickets were sold in West German cinemas.
Certainly not a masterpiece of the genre, but very varied and enjoyable!
