6 1952 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More)

La Corona Di Ferro (released in the U.S. in 1949 as "The Iron Crown"), the 1941 Alessandro Blasetti Italian mythological sword-and-sandal slave revolt romantic fantasy epic (set in sword and sandal days, about a boy who is left in a jungle-like forest to die, but he instead grows up to be a Tarzan-like hero, who returns and helps lead a slave revolt, and win the hand of the beautiful female leader of the slaves) starring Gino Cervi, Massimo Girotti, Luisa Ferida, Elisa Cegani, Paolo Stoppa, and Primo Carnera. The "Iron Crown" of the title is a "golden fleece-like" object that everyone in the movie seeks (it is supposed to have been made from a nail from Christ's cross combined with metal from the Roman soldiers' swords), and is supposed to have great powers for whoever wears it. Note that this movie is completely forgotten today (except by massive film buffs), and it was made at an unfortunate time, right at the dawn of World War II. People who have seen it say that it combines elements of almost all the major epics that came before it, like Ben-Hur, The Thief of Bagdad, and many others, with Tarzan stuff, to boot, and that some of the fantasy sequences are wonderful. But it was not highly regarded in its day (Joseph Goebbels came from Germany to see it, and he dismissed it as not worth commenting on), and it was not released in the U.S. until 1949, when it was just shown in New York City, and then it had its first U.S. general release in 1952. Because of that limited 1949 New York release, we are listing this as a 1952 re-release, but we don't even know if any posters were created for that 1949 limited release, and doubt that any exist. Note that director Alessandro Blasetti directed another fantasy tale, Fabiola, in 1949, and both of these movies are highly regarded by film buffs, and yet they are not available on DVD, even in Italy!
