ATLAS IN THE LAND OF THE CYCLOPS 1961 (MILL CREEK)

A fun film I haven't seen for a while.

Gordon Mitchell stars as "Maciste" who finds himself hiding a small baby from an evil kings army.

They want the baby so they can sacrifice it and the mother to a giant cyclops that lives in a cave. Gorgeous Chelo Alonso is on hand as the evil Queen Capys, who falls for Maciste in a big way.

Paul Wynter, a familiar face in several sword and sandal productions is also on hand as the bodyguard of Capys who gets a chance to throw Maciste around a while.

The Cyclops is an impressive monster and the climax has Maciste fighting to destroy him. This is a fun little film that has been released by many PD companies. The print from Mill Creek is acceptable.

I would recommend this to any sword and sandal fan. Good rainy Saturday afternoon viewing.
