Lion of Saint Mark (196) starring Gordon Scott, Gianna Maria Canale and Rik Battaglia. Directed by Luigi Capuano.
Enjoyable swashbuckling adventure that seems ordinary, might have seemed ordinary back then when they made a gazillion of these films but I personally enjoyed this one, mainly because of the three leading actors: Scott, Battaglia and Canale. The three make what could have been a forgettable adventure into a memorable one. The costumes, Venetian location and action all add up to an entertaining 90 minutes.
For fans of beefcake, Gordon and Rick keep their shirts on throughout the movie which might disappoint some but it's a good change to see both actors fully dressed. Gordon is dashing as the masked hero.
As for cheesecake, there's Gianna Maria Canale and Franca Bettoia so there's no complaint there. Any film with Canale is a good thing. She plays a strong willed pirate with a good heart.
The image quality is not that great. This film deserves a better print, certainly in widescreen.
Enjoy!
