    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Submitted to the British Board of Film Censors by Anglo Amalgamated (as Revak the Rebel) and passed with an "A" certificate on 17 October 1961. Anglo didn't secure a general release on the major circuits, but sent the film straight out to the Essoldo group, opening at the Birkenhead Essoldo on 5 November 1961 and the Newcastle Essoldo on 12 November 1961. The London opening was at ABC's Broadway, Hammersmith on 8 January 1962, followed by a profitable take-up by many suburban and provincial independents. For reasons best known to Anglo Amalgamated, the supporting film almost everywhere was musical documentary Rock 'n' Roll Revue (1955). The official newspaper ads hopefully announced the billing as Fantastic Spectacular plus Fabulous Rhythm.

    My initiation to Swords and Sandals cinema

    I was at my cousins house when this telecast started. He proclaimed,'Rivak the Barbarian, this should be good'! So, we watched it. According to the IMDb info, I have the title correct, and, if the date is right, I was ten years old. I don't have that many memories of pre-1960 TV, so, this is right on the cusp. It was my first viewing of, (future Oscar winner), Jack Palance. Perfect facial features for a 'barbarian'. I recall an early line of his, something like,'what in the name of creation is that', upon his first sighting of an elephant. That's about where the memories end. Apparently it was on NBC before hardly anybody, (including us), had color TV. It led to a mid 1960s fandom of Hercules type flicks on TV.
