Digitmovies continues its journey into the world of Italian Peplum films, by releasing the complete OST by Piero Piccioni from the film “Duel of the Titans” (aka Romolo e Remo”), as volume XXXI.
Soundtrack:
In 1961 when the film came out, no record was released. But in 1984 a 33 LP (PHCAM 06) record finally saw the light. The record was in the Phoenix limited edition series and contained 19 tracks (41:46 minutes). It was then rereleased twice in 1995 on CD at C.A.M. Soundtrack Encyclopedia (CAM CSE 800-126, CAM 493491-2). For our CD we were able to access the mono master tapes from the original recording session and the first generation master tape assembled by the author for a vinyl record (obviously without the Dolby Surround Sound filter). We discovered previously unreleased music that makes this new edition CD 73:25 minutes long. M° Piccioni composed a recurring battle theme emphasizing French horns for the two protagonists. This theme alternates with very dramatic war songs having an ethnic pastoral theme for the wolf scene and a mystical theme for the soldiers at the spring.
Director and Cast:
Directed in 1961 by Sergio Corbucci. Starring Steve Reeves, Gordon Scott, Virna Lisi, Franco Volpi, Laura Solari, Piero Lulli, Jose Greci, Inger Milton, Enzo Cerusico, Germano Longo, Massimo Girotti, Ornella Vanoni, Jacques Sernas, Gianni Musy, Giuliano Dell'Ovo, Bruno Tocci, Andrea Bosic, Franco Balducci, Gianni Di Benedetto, Mimmo Poli, Consalvo Dell'Arti, Benito Stefanelli, Enrico Glori, Nando Angelini.
Plot:
The film tells the story of two founding brothers of Rome, from their birth to their death. Romulus (Reeves) and Remus (Scott) are the children of Rea Silvia (Solari) who was banished and condemned to death by Amulias (Volpi). Amulias abandons the brothers to die in the Tiber river but they are saved by a female wolf who raises them like her own pups. The brothers decide to build their own small village and start by demarcating their terrain. Remus disobeys his brother when he violates his boundaries and is then killed. Later we see Romulus as an adult who has become the first king of Rome and head of the army against the king of the Sabines, Titus Tatius (Girotti). At this point the famous event happens- The Rape of the Sabine Women, where Romulus abducts Sabine women in order to create families with them and his tribe. This causes a war between the two tribes. In a certain sense Rome comes out as the winner because the Sabines join them and become one Roman people. At the end, the old Romulus dies during a stormy night and ascends to heaven, taking the name of “Quirinus.” ---レーベルより

セルジオ・コルブッチが監督したスペクタクル史劇。第１世代のレコーディング・セッション マスターテープが発見され、未発表曲も多数含んだ全収録時間73分半ものサウンドトラック完全盤がリリース！
トラックリストロモロ（スティーヴ・リーヴス）とレモ（ゴードン・スコット）の双児の兄弟は赤子の時、川に流され狼に育てられて羊飼いに発見され、その子として成長した。彼等はアルバロンガのアムリアス王の王妃になったシルビアの子であり、王こそ本来ロモロとレモが継ぐべき王位を反乱によって奪った逆臣であることを知った。王の兵隊の馬を奪ったロモロは王国のジュリアをもさらって逃げた。が、王の追跡隊に捕われた。刑場で残酷な刑を受けるロモロを自分の子であると知った王妃は必死になって命乞いをしたため、王の憤りを買ってロモロの前で刺された。そこへレモ達が侵入、王を殺した。シルビアは場所を指定し、そこに理想の都市を作れと遺言を残して死んだ。兄弟は遺言に従って約束の地目指して出発、苦難の旅を続けた。兄弟は共にジュリアを愛したため、次第に対立を深め、指導者はロモロという神意を聞くが、レモはこれを不満とし、彼に従う者だけを連れ、危険な山越えに向った。頂上に辿りついたとき、火山爆発が起り部下を失ってしまった。無事指定の地に着いたロモロ達は、アルバロンガと同盟を結んでいたサビーヌ王の追跡を迎え討つ準備を始めた。そして、ロモロは勝利を収め、王は屈服して平和を約束した。一方レモはロモロを襲ったが、敗れ、その血の上に新都市の建設が始まった。それが、永遠の都ローマである。出演：スティーヴ・リーヴス、ゴードン・スコット。1964年伊。
