Another reviewer called this the "ripest". Ripe also means odoriferous, doesn't it?
I'm not sure it's possible to watch a Steve Reeves movie and be surprised at how bad it is. Isn't that like going into a public bathroom and having the same reaction? It simply isn't fair. Of COURSE it's terrible! That's the whole idea! It's supposed to be bad to the point of being funny. Does a movie studio hire a bodybuilder to star in dubbed Italian movies in order to produce dramatic art?
I wanted to be built like Steve Reeves when I was not-quite-10, also. I didn't get the height but I got the rest after 17 years of lifting weights. It's a pity that movie studios are no longer sticking bodybuilders into bad films and slapping the whole mess into eager theaters.
Wait a minute . . .
