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.

It's Steve Reeves. What more is there to say? Any fan of the "Sword & Sandal" genre will love to have these in their collection.

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.
