Love the theme tune to this film. I believe it was originally recorded by Italian singer Marino Marini

Does anyone agree with me that the climactic fight between Granger and Mills is slightly ridiculous.Mills looks like he is about 10 stone and Granger around 14 stone and 6 inches taller yet Mills knocks Granger all over the place till Grangers dodgy heart gives out on him allowing Mills to deliver the ko.It looks absurd.

Received this today. Sampling various discs it looks pretty well restored. Caesar and Cleopatra's colour not in the Adventures of Robin Hood league but fine neverthethless. Auric's score sounds wonderful. Care has been put into this set from what I've tasted so far.

Now for a similar James Mason set please!

ah maybe I will do that, thanks. This set is the only way you will get Love Story, which I want to see, as a big Margaret Lockwood fan...

Really! I didn't know that ... thanks for letting me know.

The only versions of this song I can recall, is the one done by Marini (on the soundtrack) and a cover version by bandleader, Geoff Love (under his Manuel pseudonym) which was a Top 40 hit, in the British pop charts in 1959.

Hmmm Stewart Granger hasn't made many good films... and I am a fan! But he usually looks pretty good ... check out his outfit in Caesar & Cleopatra! He is a ray of light in a very dull film that not even Claude Rains can make interesting. But each film has its own charm I guess... I really like Waterloo Road but have an affection for The Magic Bow (which is a very silly film) and I quite like Blanche Fury. Yep... he did mainly silly films... but I am still a fan
