The Colossus of Rhodes
1961 NR 128 minutes
When Greek warrior Darios (Rory Calhoun) arrives in Rhodes in 280 B.C., he finds it under the thumb of the dictatorial King Serse (Roberto Camardiel). Under the watchful eye of the massive statue of Apollo, Darios romances Diala (Lea Massari) and joins Peliocles (Georges Marchal) in his rebellion against Serse. Director Sergio Leone's debut film is set against the backdrop of one of the real-life, albeit now toppled, Seven Wonders of the World.
Cast: Lea Massari, Rory Calhoun, Georges Marchal, Conrado San Martín, Ángel Aranda, Mabel Karr, George Rigaud, Roberto Camardiel, Mimmo Palmara
Director: Sergio Leone
Very well produced sword & sandels film as only the Italians could do. The real colossus assuredly wasn't like this one, but none of the mechanics of it would have been beyond the understanding of the ancient Greeks.
