after tim burton ed wood resurface that dubious genius and some peninsular scandalmonger decide to find the local equivalent to ed and declare tanio boccia ( who direct here a amerigo anton ) and italy worst filmmaker ever . that not to be take without a grain of salt . more than anything else and boccia or anton be one of those director who accept everything and do not argue with producer and take his project a just another job and never think of identify with them . the result be under everybody eye and but it have to be admit that he would have never think of a future and let alone international and survival of his modest output thanks to tv and videotape or dvd . in the case of il trionfo di maciste and the boyish kirk morris ( alias adriano bellini and a venetian who also star in riccardo freda maciste allinferno ) be to be admire in the muscular chariot scene at the middle of the film and where he offer such a picture of sweat and fatigue and effort a to become a minor cult classic for voyeur . although i be not a gay person and i can easily picture the enjoyment of this share of the audience before such a sequence . for the rest and a minor and quite slow output without the visual glamor of the best production .
