TERROR OF THE RED MASK 1960 (LOVING THE CLASSICS)

Another great Italian adventure film.

Lex Barker stars as Marco, a 16th century traveling soldier who receives an offer to protect an evil ruler named Astolfo (Livio Lorenzon) who is both cruel and unjust to the peoples in the area.

His reign is beng challenged by a masked man known as "The Red Mask" and he has hired Marco to rid the country of the would be hero. Marco sees the way Astolfo runs things and decides not to help him at all.

This, of course puts Marco on the outs but he is trying to get to know Jolanda (Liana Orfei) the woman who also trying to rule the countryside, but in a much better way.

Marco is also interested in a beautiful gypsy woman called Karima (Chelo Alonso) but she double crosses him and he ends up almost executed, and this is when the true identity of "The Red Mask" is revealed, and it's quite a twist indeed.

This is a fun film with a lot of action and of course a lot of Chelo Alonso!! Every film she appears in is made better just by her alone. What a babe!.

Any fan of this genre will no doubt like this movie, so I highly recommend it.
