| description |
Digitmovies presents the fifth volume of the
Italian Peplum series: Gino Marinuzzi Jr.'s original score
for the 1961 movie Ercole alla conquista di Atlantide (aka Hercules
and the Captive Women) directed by Vittorio Cottafavi and starring
Reg Park (in the role of Ercole), Fay Spain, Ettore Manni, Laura
Efrikian, Enrico Maria Salerno and Gian Maria Volontè.
Symphonic composer and electronic music expert Gino Marinuzzi
Jr. (son of the famous orchestra conductor Gino Marinuzzi) was
the author of quite a few original movie scores like Le voci
bianche (1964) by Pasquale Festa Campanile, Terrore nello Spazio
(1965) by Mario Bava, La mandragola (1965) by Alberto Lattuada
and of the original television score Jeckyll (1969) directed
by and starring Giorgio Albertazzi.
This CD release was made possible once again thanks to the help
of our friends at C.A.M. who authorized the project and in whose
historic archives the original mono session elements had been
preserved for 45 years.
For the movie Ercole alla conquista di Atlantide Gino Marinuzzi
Jr. provided an adventurous musical comment: Titoli di testa
(Tr. 1) begins with an intro for percussions (heard during the
tavern-ballet-scene) and reaches then its climax through an
orchestral and choral development.
The piece Processione (Tr. 2) written for female voices with
bell accompaniment gives a religious and mystical touch to the
score.
The main theme is reprised in a slower rendition (in calm pastoral
mood) for flute, oboe and orchestra (Tr. 3).
Powerful, rhythmic music (Tr. 5) accompanies the scene of potent
Hercules blocking the ship occupied by his revolted crew.
After the shipwreck, Hercules strands on a strange Island: the
mysterious, a bit magical atmosphere music perfectly (Tr. 6)
describes the scene.
The battle between Hercules and demonic God Proteus is underscored
by experimental electronic music (Tr. 7), the only electronic
sequence that has survived.
M° Marinuzzi Jr. had written quite a few electronic sequences
recorded on tapes for his private archives that went lost, unfortunately.
Another reprise of the epic main theme for orchestra and choir
(Tr. 8) is heard during the scene in which the young woman saved
by Hercules from Proteus shows the horizon of her native land,
the marvellous Atlantis.
A delicious love theme is presented after a dramatic intro in
Tr. 9, reprised also in Tr. 14.
The main theme is reprised again with different variations:
as a rhythmic Ballet (Tr. 10), in suspense mood featuring tremolo
violin, oboe and celesta (Tr. 11, Tr. 12) and in a dramatic
version for percussion and wind used for the prisoners'
valley scene (Tr. 13).
The score concludes with a heroic reprise of the main theme
(Tr. 18).
As a bonus, our CD contains 5 takes of the main themes: a version
without choir of Titoli (Tr. 19) and of Arrivo ad Atlantide
(Tr. 21), a percussion only version of Ercole contro Proteo
(Tr. 22), a version without percussion of Ercole trattiene la
nave (Tr. 22) and last the stereo version of Ercole trattiene
la nave. |

| story |
Hercules (Reg Park) and King Androcles (Ettore
Manni) are on an ocean expedition when Androcles is washed
overboard during a storm near a mysterious island.
Making landfall, Hercules finds that the island is the kingdom
of Atlantis, ruled by a beautiful, cruel, and ambitious queen,
Antinea (Fay Spain), who controls a mysterious source of power.
She has transformed her personal guard into super-strong warriors,
each nearly a match for Hercules, put Androcles under her
spell, and inflicted terrible wounds on her people, all in
preparation for her plan to conquer the world.
Hercules finds that her power stems from a source older than
the gods on Olympus, one over which he has virtually no power.
He must save his friend, release Antinea's people, and prevent
her from carrying out her plans.
