Produced in Italy from 1908 the sword and sandal (or peplum) films are one of the screen's most neglected and marginalized film genres. The sword and sandal films were present in Italian cinema from the silent era, but attained their greatest popularity in the 1960s when the release of Hercules (1959) provoked a global craze for these fantasy-adventures.

Destination Moon; George Pal's 1950 Technicolor epic, is generally cited as the first noteworthy science fiction film. Influential serials such as ""The Phantom Empire"" (1935) and ""Flash Gordon"" (1936) brought science fiction themes to the big screen. This work covers these serials and 29 others, which provides cast and credit information.
