Product Description:
VCI is very pleased to present this epic motion picture which has been mastered from the original negatives and presented in all its widescreen glory for the first time on home video! Love and war intertwine in this fanciful adaptation of history. The brilliant Carthaginian general Hannibal (Victor Mature) despises Rome. Fueled by vengeance he drives his army of elephants through the treacherous frozen Alps into Italy crushing anyone who dared to oppose him. As a strategy to break the morale of his enemies Hannibal captures the beautiful Sylvia of Rome (Rita Gam) so she may see the might of his army and spread the news of impending doom to her people. However a love grows between the two that will eventually be his undoing. This big-budget spectacle produced by Warner Bros. was shot in Technicolor and SuperCinescope and literally features a cast of thousands over 4000 foot-soldiers 1500 horsemen 45 elephants and a vast assortment of war machines were employed in the historic battle of Cannae alone.

Rating:  - Hannibal
Watch it and make you own option. I think this would have been a great movie for the drive-in back in the day.
Rating:  - Mature At His Funniest
First thing first! Peter O'tool would make Mature look like a N.Y. back street boy in disgrace. This character is not even worthy of Mature's tallents. For Hannibal being one the 5 greatest generals in the world over of all time in line with Rommel, Patton, Mcarthur,and Napoleion is made a complete joke when portrayed by Mature. It takes a man of staunch mobility such as Russle Crowe, Charleston Heston or Henry Fonda to take on this awesome character's event.
The film had some ok ... Read More
Rating: - Hannibal After Too Many Cocktails
A very contrived rendition of the Second Punic War between Carthage and Rome in the 3rd century B.C. The fact that Victor Mature plays the lead role is enough to discourage anyone from buying this shallow film. This film is also outmatched in every respect except color by another production and so not really worth one's time or money unless you're a die-hard Mature fanor accept only the color medium for a film.
The screenplay is disjointed as it doesn't really convey the reasons why Hannibal ... Read More
Rating:  - Love among the elephants
This makes a good addition to the Victor Mature section of your film library. But I was mostly disappointed in just about all the aspects.

Then the movie starts in the middle of Hannibal's life as he started over the mountains if you do not know the history then you will be lost thru the movie. The dubbed voices reminded me of the voices in "Fractured Fairytales." The were all sort of squeaky and of course as in the tradition of dubbed Italian movies ... Read More
