AVENGER OF THE 7 SEAS 1962 (LOVING THE CLASSICS)

This is a fun and fast moving film that has somehow just seemed to disappear.

Richard Harrison stars as Lt. David Robinson who is serving in the service of the British Navy under the command of Capt. Redway (Roldano Lupi).

Robinson breaks away from Redway when his father's village is raided and he is forced to take sides. Redway wants the fishermen of the town to pay their taxes which is an enormous sum.

Robinson is arrested but soon rescued when a pirate named Bernard Van Artz (Walter Barnes) invades the town and defeats Redway and his men. Robinson strikes a bargain with Artz to steal a bounty of pearls from Redway which actually belong to the village his father lives in.

Things don't quite go as planned and things get out of hand in the war between Redway and Robinson. There are a lot of battles at sea and on land in this well made Italian action/adventure film.

This widescreen presentation should please any fan of the genre and I have to mention that the cast is exceptional..it includes Paul Muller, Michele Mercier, Marisa Belli, Italo Sain and Lilia Nguyen.

Beautiful women and almost non-stopaction make this a winner all the way. If you get a chance to see it do so.
