Digitmovies presents the seventh volume of
the anthological series dedicated to the original soundtracks
of the Italian Peplum releasing for the first time the complete
original motion picture soundtrack by Roberto Nicolosi for the
1959 movie La battaglia di maratona (aka The giant of Marathon)
directed by Jacques Tourneur and Bruno Vailati (for the underwater
sequences) with the special effects and the photography by the
great Mario Bava. The movie stars the mighty Steve Reeves as
Philippides, just winner at the Olympic Games of 490 B.C. He
comes to defend his country against the invasion of the Persian
and against some Athens betrayers. The movie, shot in widescreen
format, is one of the best motion pictures of this genre with
exciting scenes of naval battles and fascinating underwater
sequences. The cast was enriched by noted faces of the big screen
like the beautiful French actress Mylene Demongeot (as Andromeda),
who few years later appeared in the role of the dynamic Parisian
journalist in the cult movie series of Fantomas, Daniela Rocca
(Karis), Sergio Fantoni (the villain Teocrito), Alberto Lupo
(Milziade), Daniele Vargas (Darius, king of the Persians) and
Ivo Garrani (Creso).This project was again made possible thanks
to the big help of the C.A.M. friends, in whose archives the
1959 mono master tapes have been preserved until today. The
big discovery made in the C.A.M. archives is a paper page with
a written tracks list for an album (that never saw the light
of day) prepared by the author himself. Our CD contains every
music note recorded that time, chronologically sequenced as
heard in the movie. For artistic and historic purpose, we have
also respected the edits made by M° Nicolosi himself in
1959. Roberto Nicolosi has written an epic symphonic score introduced
by a heroic theme for brass, strings and percussions that becomes
the Philippides Theme (Tr. 1), then reprised with a coda of
fanfares (Tr. 2) and in the conclusive Maratona Finale (Tr.
21). The score is rich of dramatic battle themes and action
music (Tr. 6, Tr. 13, Tr. 14, Tr. 18, Tr. 19, Tr. 20) that are
counterpoints of the romantic love theme for Philippides and
Andromeda (Tr. 3, Tr. 9, Tr. 10, Tr. 12). Source music (like
Palace music) is also enclosed (Tr. 5). As bonus track we include
an alternate take (Tr. 22) of Battaglia navale.
Another Must rescue of the Italian Golden Age and another record
to add to the always growing discography of Roberto Nicolosi. |

| story |
Rather than telling a dramatized version
of the exploits of the Greek runner Phidippides (or Philippides,
as used here), this standard Italian costume drama has the
great athlete almost single-handedly defeating the Persians.
Set in 490 B.C. when the Persian armies were ready to finish
conquering Greece and head into Europe, Phidippides (Steve
Reeves, who else?) rallies the Athenians and they fight a
series of spectacular, massive battles.
In reality, Phidippides had run 140 miles to Sparta and back
to ask for their help before any battles began.
The Persians had already landed on the plains of Marathon,
26 miles from Athens but thanks to Phidippides forewarning,
they were defeated by advancing Athenian forces.
Phidippides' final run from Marathon back to Athens to warn
them about a second attack by the Persian forces is not depicted
in this drama, that last run on top of the futile, 280-mile
round trip to Sparta, cost him his life.
