It was one of my cheesy pleasures in my youth to watch all those Italian (and Spanish) "historical" adventure movies on TV. The quality of those movies ranges from solid to cringe-worthy (but mostly the good kind of cringe) - they are in their best moments like those stories in the pulp magazines of gone times (that nobody admitted to buy and read). Anyway, The Colossus of Rhodus is a solid contribution to those kind of works but only in a very few moments we get a little inkling of the kind of epic movies the director of this piece will direct only a few years later. Cheesy, funny, entertaining.
