The Giant of Marathon (1959)

Political Talk, A Little Romance
With Very Little Action



Once again there is ample costumes and props that are eye-candy for the viewer, a few lovely sets and a somewhat political story, some romance thrown in with little action. It did not take me long to fast-forward through this one.

The film is about: A Greek soldier leads the fight against an invading Persian army. But it's very talky with little action. They spend almost the entire film just talking with all the stuff that lead up to the "great battle scene" which had Andromeda tied to the front of a ship as if she was suppose to be some kind of martyr like Joan of Arc.

Sadly, I was unimpressed with this story. I only enjoyed some of the costuming and props.
