Terrific publication. Kudos to the seller as well. Book is in "like new" condition. Arrived promptly. Colors are bright and clear in each instance and even the corners of the book are straight and unbent.
Buy with confidence from this seller !

Hercules and Goliath posters!

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2005

Spanning the years 1932 - 1970 "Mighty Movies" is a visual treat for movie lovers like myself. Packed from cover to cover with around 200 vintage posters of Biblical epics, swashbucklers and sword and sandal spectacles like HERCULES UNCHAINED and GOLIATH AND THE DRAGON. I couldn't help but dream about how wonderful it must have been to watch all these movies in the theater.

In addition to all the great posters Bassoff has added lots of information about the movies themselves. One interesting fact I learned was in 1912 the Astor Theatre in Manhattan raised it's ticket price from 15 cents to $1.50 for Guazzoni's now lost QUO VADIS!

Here are some of the posters I enjoyed the most:

NORTHWEST PASSAGE

SAMSON AND DELILAH

MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY

THE PRODIGAL

GOLIATH AND THE SINS OF BABYLON

GOLIATH AND THE VAMPIRES
