Product Description: Before Schwarzenegger there was Steve Reeves--heroic tough and overflowing with muscles. This double bill features Reeves at his most Olympic.In GIANT OF MARATHON Reeves is Philippeides an oversized warrior who defends Greece from their perennial nemeses the Persians. While it may be an over-the-top muscle-fest cinema junkies will be drawn in by B-film master Jacques Tourneur's direction along with cinematography by Italian horror legend Mario Bava.Next on the bill is another Greek adventure WAR OF THE TROJANS where Reeves plays Rome's mythical founder Aeneas who does his share of butt-kicking and chain smashing in another camp classic.System Requirements:Running Time: 180 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/CLASSICS Rating: NR UPC: 617742601497 Manufacturer No: RET 6014

I was very disappointed when I realized that this DVD WAS NOT a collection of Steve Reeves movies, at all. It only has one movie and I could have purchased this movie at a much lower price.

The Giant of Marathon is certainly Reeves at his best and the Trojan film is enjoyable. Like the other reviewers I too would liove to see Morgan and Thief released.

Have to agree with my fellow reviewers here: "Giant of Marathon" does look noticeably better than any of the several other versions currently available, and the widescreen is more pronounced. Several splices early on, but the film is clean, clear, and in reasonably fine condition: a pleasure to see this film looking this good, and the second feature isn't too bad, either. For fans of "Giant of Marathon" (one of Steve's more polished and watchable efforts) this is the version to own.
