█ █ comments : The Real Story █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Here's a disappointingly routine peplum █ █
█ █ yarn made to cash in on the hulking █ █
█ █ presence of Steve Reeves, who became an █ █
█ █ international hot property after the █ █
█ █ success of the two Hercules films. It's █ █
█ █ not that this is a bad film, for its █ █
█ █ well made and lavish-looking in places, █ █
█ █ but the depressingly familiar plot █ █
█ █ contains few interesting characters and █ █
█ █ even less story. The pacing seems slow █ █
█ █ and is hampered by a subplot involving █ █
█ █ the romance between Reeves Lidia, the █ █
█ █ daughter of a barbarian general. Goliath █ █
█ █ and the Barbarians is worth watching for █ █
█ █ Steve Reeves fans or for those just █ █
█ █ starting out in the genre, but to peplum █ █
█ █ fans it just looks the same as a hundred █ █
█ █ others and offers nothing new. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Steve Reeves stars at the peak of his █ █
█ █ physical perfection, enjoying every █ █
█ █ moment of his onscreen attention as the █ █
█ █ camera gazes at his bulging biceps and █ █
█ █ rippling muscles. The best scenes in the █ █
█ █ film come when Reeves is forced to take █ █
█ █ part in two "impossible" tasks - the █ █
█ █ first is a deadly tug-o-war game, the █ █
█ █ second the much-remembered "horse █ █
█ █ pulling" incident in which two wild █ █
█ █ horses are tied to Reeves' arms and then █ █
█ █ whipped to go in opposite directions, █ █
█ █ threatening to pop his limbs from his █ █
█ █ very sockets. With every muscle █ █
█ █ straining, Reeves finally manages to █ █
█ █ reign in the wild beasts and win both █ █
█ █ the approval of the crowd and his █ █
█ █ freedom. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The supporting cast are an unmemorable █ █
█ █ bunch even for Italian movies, with nary █ █
█ █ a sympathetic character in sight. █ █
█ █ They're just plain boring and its █ █
█ █ difficult to care about their fate. █ █
█ █ Giulia Rubini is not the prettiest of █ █
█ █ Italian leading ladies but her feisty █ █
█ █ character is worthwhile. Chief menace █ █
█ █ comes from Livio Lorenzon who plays the █ █
█ █ imposing Igor, a bald-headed brute who █ █
█ █ goes around brutalising and raping those █ █
█ █ in his path. The satisfying conclusion █ █
█ █ watches as his body is repeatedly broken █ █
█ █ by Reeves in his quest for revenge. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ There aren't many battle sequences in █ █
█ █ the film, aside from the finale which █ █
█ █ unforgivably takes place in the dark █ █
█ █ thus lessening the impact. Scenes of a █ █
█ █ disguised Reeves, dressed in animal furs █ █
█ █ and known as "the Goliath" (so that's █ █
█ █ where the name came from) as he goes █ █
█ █ around slaughtering his foe are █ █
█ █ undoubtedly enjoyable though. The █ █
█ █ depiction of the Barbarians massacring █ █
█ █ their enemy is a strong one and often █ █
█ █ brutally violent, as their victims are █ █
█ █ repeatedly speared or stabbed to death █ █
█ █ by the enemy. Despite having good █ █
█ █ production values and a strong leading █ █
█ █ man, Goliath and the Barbarians is █ █
█ █ finally just a routine escapade in which █ █
█ █ a drop of imagination could have worked █ █
█ █ wonders. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ [about the artist] █ █
█ █ Les Baxter is widely and █ █
█ █ enthusiastically acclaimed as not only █ █
█ █ the master, but alos the originator of █ █
█ █ those lustrous sounds that have █ █
█ █ revolutionized modern popular music. █ █
█ █ Many of his past albums have been based █ █
█ █ on exciting sounds from strange settings █ █
█ █ in and out of this world. Les, in his █ █
█ █ unique way, is able to mold these sounds █ █
█ █ into magnificent music. Music that █ █
█ █ appeals to emotions as old as time, yet █ █
█ █ music as spectacularly modern as the █ █
█ █ listener's imagination can perceive. █ █
