Ulisse (1954, ITA/USA) C-100m. *** D: Mario Caimano. Starring Kirk Douglas, Silvana Mangano, Anthony Quinn, Rossana Podestà, Sylvie, Piero Lulli. Underrated adventure classic with Douglas a most convincing Ulysses, who gets washed ashore an amnesiac, until he remembers there's his wife Penelope (Mangano) waiting for him ever since the end of the Trojan war. In flashbacks, we are told Ulysses's adventures. Well-produced epic by Dino De Laurentiis and Carlo Ponti, unfortunately not shot in widescreen. Some sources wrongly credit Mario Bava as a co-director; the maestro directed the Polyphemus episode in a 1968 TV version of Homer's Iliad. English title: ULYSSES.
