Thanks for the update-I need 'em both. I'm a bit of a nut for Brescia and love seeing these films the way they should be watched. Now if Retromedia can get an anamorphic CROSS MISSION I'll fall off my...

Tower.com is listing a release date of November 4, 2008 for THE MAGNIFICENT GLADIATOR and SAMSON AND THE 7 MIRACLES OF THE WORLD.

Is that Tower Records? I thought they went out of business years ago. So far, Amazon.com and Movies Unlimited have no listing for SAMSON/MAGNIFICENT GLADIATOR. Critics Choice Video's catalog lists it,...

The Retromedia DVD of SAMSON AND THE 7 MIRACLES OF THE WORLD is okay, similar to the Wild East print of GOLIATH AND THE VAMPIRES (faded color, print scratches and debris, but full scope). SAMSON...

Thanks for the review. How does ALI BABA AND THE SEVEN SARACENS look? Does it seem to run full length?
View ArticleRe: Retromedia peplum releases out soon
ALI BABA looks very squeezed in the P&S transfer, but does seem full length (although I don't actually know what the running time should be). The trailer preview is full scope and has good color,...
