Entertaining Checklist Of Ancient World Spectacle Films,
By cameron-vale "cameron-vale" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Epic Films: Casts, Credits and Commentary on over 250 Historical Spectacle Movies (Hardcover)
EPIC FILMS is a fun and detailed checklist of nearly 300 movies that are "concerned with monumental events and larger than life characters" that "take place during the period of time from the Creation to the thirteenth century." Utilizing that somewhat broad definition, Gary Smith writes with contagious enthusiasm about a wide assortment of titles, ranging from low budget but frequently stylish Italian-made peplum like GOLIATH AND THE VAMPIRES to stodgy and bloated multi-million dollar Hollywood extravaganzas like THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. Smith provides informative and occasionally hilarious commentary and plot outlines, with brief cast/crew information for each film. Dozens of decorative stills and publicity photos are strewn throughout the text. The book offers a jaunty and entertaining look at these often spectacular productions and is highly recommended for fans of this mostly mindless but undeniably opulent genre.
