“Not surprisingly, Mickey played Hercules, well-oiled and wearing what seemed to be a very short skating skirt adorned with leather suspenders. Unlike any other male in the movie, Mickey is tanned and greased and so muscle-bound that he can’t walk with his arms at his sides but looks like some kind of great, jerky mechanical bear. The plot, very sketchily, has Mickey’s first wife murdered. He sets out to seek revenge, meets a black-haired tribal queen and falls in love in nine minutes. The black-haired queen is played by Jayne, wearing a black wig and a padded bra. It was some kind of gravitational miracle that she didn’t fall over with all that frontage on her. At any rate, she and Hercules have to overcome a lot of obstacles to their love, including the murderous impulses of the red-haired Amazon queen who captures Hercules. Jayne plays the Amazon queen in a different wig but the same bra. The movie is dubbed in a variety of accents so that Mickey delivers Shakespearean English, Jayne West Coast American and the others sound indigenous to locales between Los Angeles and London … Jayne’s dual roles were an object lesson in male fantasy. She gets to play the demanding, emasculating woman men fear and the demure, passive woman they want.”

/ From Jayne Mansfield and the American Fifties by Martha Saxton, 1975 /

Released in Italian cinemas 63 years ago today (19 August 1960): “sword-and-sandals” peplum film The Loves of Hercules (aka Hercules vs the Hydra) starring fabulous fame-crazed husband and wife duo Mickey Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield, made in Cinemascope at the height of the “Hollywood on the Tiber” era. In the UK at least, this movie is seemingly impossible to see. Over the years some scratchy, faded versions have surfaced on YouTube – but always dubbed exclusively in Italian! Where oh where is the 4K restoration English language director’s cut Blu-ray?

"Zeus" di Emimmo Salvi, il film che non vide mai la luce per la tragica fine del suo regista

La storia di Emimmo Salvi potrebbe essere tranquillamente inserita tra le tante dei numerosi registi che tra gli anni ’60 e ’70 si sono cimentati nel cinema popolare italiano, se non fosse per alcuni elementi che ne offrono una connotazione peculiare. Dopo diversi anni di gavetta (ispettore di produzione per Fellini, produttore di peplum…), si lancia nella regia di film di genere, inseguendo i…

PRELIMINARY ROUND! MATCH 2 OUT OF 5 - BATTLE OF THE RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S CINDERELLA ADAPTATIONS!

Propaganda Under the Cut

Julie Andrews as Cinderella (1957 Movie):

((This movie is the Julie Andrew’s one.))

Lesley Ann Warrens as Cinderella (1965 Movie):

tbh I think that both other films for this version are superior to this one, but I want the full 128 bracket so I might as well submit this. Starring Lesley Ann Warren as Cinderella, it's a distinct remake of the Julie Andrews version (which was incredibly popular, but hadn't been filmed in color, thus the studio's decision to make a new one). It is admittedly more similar to the 1957 version than the 1997 version was, so if you don't want to accept it as its own story that's fine; but there *are* some differences in the script, songs, and acting choices for the characters. I haven't seen this version of the film since I was VERY young, so I can't speak on the quality or anything lol, but I remember that I really really liked it when I was five, before the 1997 version came out and consumed me lol. I had briefly considered submitting it earlier because it felt unfair to have Julie Andrews and Brandy Norwood both have a slot while poor Lesley Ann Warren was left out, but ultimately decided she probably wouldn't get very far. But now I'm reconsidering lol sooooo yeah. A third version of Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella for your consideration XD

Brandy as Cinderella (1997 Movie):

Because she is so cute in this, I love her outfits before and after the transformation, and this movie is just such a good adaptation of Cinderella.

the 1997 cinderella movie is the best one ever to me like. you have whitney houston as the fairy godmother and brandy is so so so pretty and she's such an amazing cinderella. 10 minutes ago the best cinderella song of all time ever she sounded so good <3

does this movie even NEED propaganda?

Brandy Cinderella with Whitney Houston! Need I say more?

Brandy plays one of the best iterations of Cinderella actually.

I just think she's neat. Also she looked the best in the ball gown.

One of the most iconic Cinderellas of all time, Brandy brought tenderness, earnestness, and heartfelt poignancy that transformed the story and emphasized its humanity and themes of dreaming for the future. Her voice is celestial! The power of her performance is undeniable! As a lifelong Cinderella fan she was always one of my favorites.

A lot of children grew up watching this movie around the holidays.

This is my favorite version of Cinderella and Brandy absolutely KILLS IT as Cinderella!! Her voice is so sweet and beautiful. And her dress!! I love her peplum. ALSO HER BRAIDS MAKE A BUN AND ITS SO ADORABLE. just look up the soundtrack for this movie PLEASE.

Tina Aumont interview 9

Can you tell us about "Racconti proibiti… di niente vestiti"?

I think it's a "peplum". I remember a temple in front of a lake. With a title like that, undoubtedly an erotic film.

Is this something that bothers you?

No, when it's not vulgar, of course. Suggesting with an attitude, a look, it's interesting.

Have you ever played a vampire? You couldn't ask for a better erotic character.

It's just Antoine, but no, not yet, although I would like to, it's such a rich theme that it doesn't need to be modernized. It is by definition.

Please tell us about “Les Hautes Solitudes” by Philippe Garrel.

Yes, the film with Jean Seberg that I was talking about earlier. Without sound recording, total improvisation. He attached more importance to image. Well, he's probably right. Today, critics recognize it.

Tina interviewed by Antoine Cervero in 2001. Published in January/June 2002 Cine Zine Zone number 134.

Very special thanks to @74paris for sharing this gem.

Can you recommend your favourite sword-and-sandal movies?

if Steve Reeves was in it, I probably watched it and had a good time. everyone's got legs for days in those movies, and I think the costuming choices are fun!

more specifically tho: The Avenger/La leggenda di Enea (The Legend of Aeneas) and Hercules/Le Fatiche di Ercole (The Labours of Hercules)

searching 'peplum' films on youtube should give you like, so many of these films

that aside, I'd recommend looking up Steve Reeve/other popular sword and sandal actors' acting credits and checking out whatever sounds most fun. they've got everything. You like biblical antiquity? They got biblical antiquity! You want the Trojan War? They got the Trojan War! just. be sure uhhhhhhhhh to watch them some of them with a critical eye.

special mentions to Ben Hur (1959) and Cleopatra (1963), which are actually epics, but I'm throwing them in here because they're so heavily fictionalized in their visuals that it's sword and sandal adjacent to me.

#there's a really shitty (different) cleopatra movie that did something FASCINATING with antony and octavian #that i cant stop thinking about it. if i remember what it's called i'll add it to the list #like it is terrible but it's also an incredibly fascinating take on cleopatra that i prefer to most iterations of her #a lot of these are available on youtube btw. sometimes you have to look them up under their italian release name tho #ask tag #(deep sighing) i got way too serious in the tags talking about the history of italian cinema and ancient rome in global pop culture #like its not that i think these are inherently fascist bc of the complex history of cinema in italy #but it's also not. value neutral. bc there's other stuff going on with it thematically #there was a text that was talking about sword and sandal movies and military glorification or whatever #anyway im just. closing that topic now. im too tired to get into it beyond that. blah.

DCA Info Part 58: Dorm Fairy Redesigns (Part 1)

View Part 2

Phoenix decided to change the Dorm fairies appearances to fit with her new art style and felt like their initial designs looked unappealing and a not quite diverse in terms of original design for fairies.

🍎 Applette

Original Applette: Initially, Applette appeared as small fairy with cream colored skin, blackish blue hair styled in a blunt bob cut with bangs, blue eyes, and red blush. She has pale lime green wings shaped to look like leaves.

Her dress consists of a dark blue bodice with a white collar with a red interior. Her peplum is the same blue shade, have red details and take up the upper and mid sections of her skirt. Her skirt on the other hand is a solid yellow in color.

Applette accessorizes with a gold crown with rounded arches with a glossy red apple inside of it with a green stem.

Current Applette: While on initial glance, it appears that little has changed in Applette's new design, however, there are a few differences. Applette's overall new appearance looks more glossy, her eyes are now a lighter blue, a red bow tie on her dress's bodice and the bottom half of her dress is now gold in color and resembles the lower half of an apple.

👠 Bumpkin

Original Bumpkin: Initially, Bumpkin appeared as a small pastel yellow fairy with dark blue eyes and side swept pastel tangerine hair. She additionally has green leaves and a stem attached to her head. Bumpkin's wings are light blue in color and appear to have sideways facing hearts in them.

Bumpkin's dress is light blue in color and bears a resemblance to the dress Cinderella wore in the original 1950 film, with the exception that it has the color palette used for merchandise. The dress consists of an ombre v neckline bodice, puff sleeves, a two layered skirt with the top layer being transparent and sparkly, while the bottom layer is a solid blue.

Bumpkin accessorizes with a hat that resembles a pumpkin, with the green stem shaped like a crown.

Current Bumpkin: Bumpkin's new design now resembles that of a princess doll, in the context of the series, it makes sense since her current appearance is said to be modeled after Ella's cherished childhood doll. Bumpkin's skin now looks more pale yellow in color and her hair is now a slightly darker in color and is much more curler than before, her wings are now white are resemble angel wings, her dress now features a light blue capelet with a blue heart brooch and white trim, the skirt's top layer retains it transparency and sparkly qualities but it is now dark blue with light blue sparkles.

🐰 Sui

Original Sui: Initially, Sui appeared as a small fairy with pale pink skin, purple eyes with pink heart-shaped pupils, blonde hair with swirled bangs and violet wings that resemble angel wings with a swirl in them.

Sui wears an indigo bonnet with the inside being pink and a purple ribbon wrapped around the bonnet. She also wears an indigo shawl held together with a violet ribbon.

Sui's lower half appears to be connected to a teapot. The teapot is white in color with the top part having a blue rounded arch detailing and with in the blue part are a red heart, black spade, red diamond and a black clover. The teapot also has a gold handle, spout, bottom and cut where the lid would be.

Current Sui: Sui's new design now features both a full body image of her, as well as her in her new teapot. Both her bonnet and dress are now purple and the ribbon on her bonnet now resembles that of bunny ears. With Sui's new full body appearance, we are now able to see her footwear, which consists of a pair of white boots. Sui's new teapot is now light blue with various dark blue details and resembles an elephant.

🌹 Willow

Original Willow: Initially, Willow appeared as a small fairy with light pink skin, pink blush, magenta eyes and straight dusty beige hair with blunt bangs. Her wings are white in color and bear a resemblance to Florence, Faustus and Asher's wings and to an extent Flora, Fauna and Merryweather's wings.

Willow wears a red bodice and bustle with the skirt being salmon in color. She also wears a cape that has a red exterior and pale yellow interior.

Willow also wears a red pointy hat and a hat veil with a ribbon on it that is pale yellow in color.

Current Willow: Willow's new design now bears a striking resemblance to Flora, the leader of the Three Good Fairies who wears red. The changes include Willow's hair now being styled with curled bangs, her white wings now resemble insect wings and her hat now has a pink rose on it.

🐠 Marina

Original Marina: Initially, Marina appeared as a small fairy with pale lavender skin, violet eyes, wavy lavender hair and pale pink wings that resemble shells.

Marina wears a two layered ruffled dress, with the top layer being white that fades to a grayish mauve and the second layer also being white but it fades to a grayish purple. Marina accessories with a silver pearl necklace with a large pink pearl in the center and a pink crown made of sea cones.

Marina additionally appears to be connected to a shell with a pink exterior and yellow interior.

Current Marina: Marina's new design looks similar to her Classic one with a few changes. Her dress now has it's bodice resemble a shell and the skirt is now much more flowy and features various pink pearls throughout. Her crown is also slightly taller.

Trivia

• Sui's design is based on the oysters.

• Marina sitting in her shell is possibly a reference to the opening performance in The Little Mermaid.
