Hannibal (1959), a late Edgar G. Ulmer film. Surprisingly, a lavish costume epic with no less than 12,000 extras in the battle scenes. A good movie but could have been a great one if the studio had allowed Ulmer to make it the way he wanted to.

Jacques Tourneur’s Timbuktu is an old-fashioned Foreign Legion adventure movie, in fact even a little old-fashioned by the standards of 1958. That’s probably why I liked it so much. As a bonus it stars Victor Mature and Yvonne de Carlo.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
