Dominique Sanda, Cybill Shepherd, Susan George. Tina Louise nød en periode med popularitet i 1960erne, hvilket blev yderligere konsolideret af hendes rolle som Ginger Grant i den populære situationskomedie Gilligan Island.

However many historians think that this episode is pure legend : the scientist did not have at his disposal the means to set the Roman fleet on fire. Claudia Jennings, Sue Bernard, Victoria Vetri. The episode of the attack of the city and the use of the mirrors (using an inclement weather and a rather ominous guy is another good idea) remains impressive even today when special effects go from strength to strength. Rossano Brazzi and Alberto Farnese are convincing as her love interests.On the other hand ,the son (Luciano Marin ) is rather sluggish. Tina Louise gives a pretty good performance: her amnesia,cured by the sun which reminds her of her youth with her childhood's friend Archimède,is credible. Marcus Claudius Marcellus was a historic figure who really wanted to spare Archimede's life (though their private lives never interfered) but he could not ,because of one of his soldiers' awkwardness. Of course there are implausibilities (a Roman patrician adopting an illigitimate child and marrying an unknown woman ,certainly not a high-born lady) ,but the story is well written and sustains interest till the very end. So a story can be invented from start to finish.And the screenwriters smartly opt for a melodramatic tale, a gripping script,certainly better than that of the average sword and sandals (peplum)standards there's no muscle man-which spares us endless fights- but a scientist whose works revolutionized physics and mathematics ,notably about the transcendental number pi.There's no filler ,no exotic erotic dances only statuesque Sylva Koscina reminds you of the classic peplum. Still, laughable fun and I look forward to exploring more of this genre someday.Archimède's private life is not known. She released her first music album m ‘It’s Time for Tina’ in 1957. ![]() Tina started her career as a stage actress during the 1950s. The sets are as cardboard and pathetic as anything out of the original "Star Trek" and Matthews' and Louise' acting is of a par. Tina Louise is an actress, singer, painter, and author famous for her portrayal of Ginger Grant in the 1960s television series ‘Gilligan’s Island.’. Fighting and declaiming over freedom, and a really badly staged and laughable sea battle between two triremes follow. Kerwin Matthews is Phaon the double-agent in the king's guard who leads the revolt and, of course, falls for Sappho who is however promised to Hyperbius (Italian actor Riccardo Garrone in the sole good performance in the film). Sappho is one of the heirs of Melanchrus, a slovenly and sybaritic king who keeps taxing the people beyond their means and ultimately inciting a revolt. "The Warrior Empress" is probably as good a title as any for this cheesy romp, when it comes down to it. Of course this bears little or no resemblance to the historic poetess, and anybody thinking that "sappho" and "lesbos" means there's going to be some girl-girl action here had best be disabused of that right away. Doesn't matter, you get the idea - this is a peplum, Italian sword-and-sandals cheapie, and Sappho (Tina Louise) happens to be the main character. ![]() The Italian title is "Saffo, venere di Lesbo" which I guess is something like "Sappho, Venus of Lesbos" but anybody who can read Italian go ahead and correct me (Babelfish was no help). ![]()
