Description:
Filmed in Egypt, The Golden Arrow stars yesteryear’s beefcake Tab Hunter as a strong Arabian Nights bandit. He discovers that he’s really the boy of a Sultan, and that his kingdom is within risk. In purchase to save his individuals and restore his throne, the Tabmeister must find a miracle fantastic arrow. Or, if you choose, he must find “La freccia d’oro”, which had been the initial Italian name of the film. The Golden Arrow lets us understand halfway through that it’s not to be taken seriously (as if we had up till then) by providing us two comic genies: One skinny, one sluggish.
Beginning with the late fifties the Italian movie industry enjoyed a major renaissance that lasted until the early seventies and yielded these types of wide-ranging worldwide package office hits as Hercules (1958) featuring Steve Reeves, Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita (1960), and Sergio Leone’s influential Spaghetti Western, A Fistful of Dollars (1964), to name a few. Italian producers seeking to increase their profits lured American actors, some of them fading former others and stars up and coming leads, for their marquee value and largely succeeded with this gamble. Clint Eastwood, of course, became an overnight star, thanks to those three Spaghetti Westerns with Sergio Leone, but other US actors discovered themselves in demand as well such as Alan Ladd (Duel of Champions , 1961), Guy Madison (Sword of the Conqueror , 1961), Rory Calhoun (The Colossus of Rhodes , 1961) and Jeffrey Hunter (silver for the Caesars , 1963). Include to this list former teen idol Tab Hunter, whom was enticed into appearing in The Golden Arrow (1962, Italian title La freccia d’oro), a Fantasy-Adventure of the Sword-and-Scandal variety that was these types of a popular staple at the time in the European movie industry.
Set in Damascus, the tale follows the trials and tribulations of Hassan (Tab Hunter), a skillful thief who turns out to be the long lost heir to the throne of the kingdom. Whenever the sultan’s child Jamila (Rossana Podesta) is kidnapped by enemies of her Hassam, father vows to rescue her and, at the same time, prove his real identification by retrieving a miracle amulet. On his trip, he must undergo various feats of strength and cunning involving a wizard who turns men to rock, a sorceress whom rules an underground labyrinth of flaming animals and other dangers. Through information technology all he is aided by three comical genies, a flying carpeting, a magic mirror that looks like a precursor to the iPad, and the legendary weapon of the title.
