Giant Of Marathon, The (1959)

aka: La Battaglia Di Maratona

This sword and sandal spectacle was directed by Jacques Tourneur of Val Lewton fame and features cinematography by Italian horror master, Mario Bava. Steve Reeves plays a courageous Greek hero whose muscle-bound heroics are the source of deadly frustration for the invading Persians. Plenty of excitement and adventure in what is considered one of Reeves' best films.

This film comes from a nice widescreen import print.
