"I wanted so much but I die without getting anything."

Leone served his apprenticeship in film by assisting various Italian directors as well as Walsh, Wyler and Melvyn Le Roy By the late '50s he was writing scripts for gladiatorial epics, the genre in which he first gained directing experience, and took over "The Last Days of Pompeii" when the director Mario Bonnard fell ill before directing alone "The Colossus of Rhodes." Not until 1964, however, did he establish himself as a true original with his first film in what would come to be known as the Man With No Name trilogy

"The Colossus of Rhodes" begins in the island of Rhodes in the Mediterranean Sea 280 B.C.

Rhodes is celebrating a proud day in her history A magnificent statue will now dominate the seas But the Colossus was erected in blood and the people in Rhodes do not want slavery The chief of the rebels, Peliocles (Georges Marchal) needs a man like that visitor Dario (Rory Calhoun), who's a great warrior in Greece

Thar (Conrado San Martín)who is in love with Diala (Lia Massari)is no longer content with the power Serse (Roberto Camardiel) stupidly bestowed upon him He wants this beautiful island to sell to Phoenicia, than he'll be the reigning monarch Of course the rebels don't have enough men to attack them openly

There's only one plan, to enter the Colossus But the Colossus is impregnableHow could they hope to get in? Rhodes' best soldiers are imprisoned underground A heavy gate seals the only exit This gate can only be opened by a control in the Colossus

If you want to see how the Colossus is a huge trap don't miss this Sergio Leone's directorial debut

Trivia
El coloso de Rodas (1961) is set during the time following Alexander the Great's death (323 BC) but before the rise of the Roman empire (27 BC), known as the Hellenistic era. Most sword-and-sandal epics of the 1950s and 1960s were set in either classical Greece or even earlier (Le fatiche di Ercole (1958), Ulisse (1954), El gigante de Maratón (1959)) or the later Roman period (Ben-Hur (1959), Il magnifico gladiatore (1964), Quo Vadis (1951)). The only other films made during the peplum era to use a Hellenistic setting are Anibal (1959), La venganza del rebelde (1960) and El sitio de Siracusa (1960).

Errores
The picture dates itself to 280 BCE. The island of Rhodes is shown as an independent state, which is true enough for the time; however, it's alleged to have a king although Rhodes was a republic at the time. The king bears an uncharacteristic non-Greek name: Serse, an Italian corruption of Xerxes, a Greek corruption of an Iranian name that it scarcely resembles. The king receives an ambassador from Phoenicia - at the time an integral part of the Seleukid Empire (Syria). Greece is referred to as if a united country, which at the time was untrue - divided as it was between Attika, Lakaidemon, the Akhaian League, the Aitolian League, Epiros, Makedon, and other states.
