They might not have bankable stars or clear selling points, but each of the obscure gems in these Cult Camp Classics sets come beautifully restored and ready to please their hungry devotees. The fourth volume includes three historical costume epics: at long last comes this strange work from Howard Hawks, Land of the Pharaohs (USA, 1955, 106 mins.), which is based on a script by William Faulkner and Harry Kurnitz and follows the epic construction of the Great Pyramid; Sergio Leone's directorial debut The Colossus of Rhodes (Italy, 1961, 138 mins.), is a sweeping sword-and-sandal epic set in ancient Greece. Rory Calhoun stars a Greek hero who must travel to Rhodes and destroy the mythical Colossus; The Prodigal (Richard Thorpe, USA, 1955, 115 mins.) is a lavish MGM production shot in Cinemascope and set in 70 B.C.
Howard Hawks/Sergio Leone/Richard Thorpe---USA/Italy---1955-1961---359 mins.
