Hannibal is leading his large Carthaginian army across the Alps to exact revenge on the Romans who destroyed his homeland. Along the way to Rome he captures senator Fabius Maximus's niece, Sylvia where he falls in love with her which stalls his ambitions to conquer Italy.

Victor Mature stars as Hannibal in this large scale epic about his invasion of Italy. The opening scenes are very impressive as we see Hannibal's army marching through the snow and over the Alps. The harshness of the journey is well directed by Edgar G Ulmer as we see soldiers falling from the cliffs and their bodies been left for the wolves, we also see a soldier with his hand completely frozen to his spear.

Edgar G Ulmer mixes some well designed indoor sets to show the sequences with the Elephants with the real out door shots of the mountains. However when he tries to use the same effect but during the battles scenes it looks poor. As we have hundreds of extras fighting out on a open plain (which looks impressive) but then we cut to in door set background of a soldier shouting charge which looks poor.

The film however ends quite abruptly and long before he was defeated at the battle of Zama and the love story part is incredibly boring and it as you would guess its not very historically accurate.

Overall a decent film that could've been better but with a decent cast including future comedy duo Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer in small roles.

Great DVD Quality (except one very brief night sequence which looks to dark)

I like all the classic epic movies like Ben Hur, The Vikings & Spartacus. I was aware Victor Mature done a movie about Hannibal and could not find it anywhere. I finally got it from Amazon and instantly realised why it isn't as readily available as the other epics. The worst thing in this movie is the unconvincing battle scenes, with some of the worst extras I've ever seen , the story line is also terrible so give this one a miss.

This makes a good addition to the Victor Mature section of your film library. But I was mostly disappointed in just about all the aspects. First the music in the background did not match the situation. Then the movie starts in the middle of Hannibal's life as he started over the mountains if you do not know the history then you will be lost thru the movie. The dubbed voices reminded me of the voices in "Fractured Fairytales." The were all sort of squeaky and of course as in the tradition of dubbed Italian movies did not match the speech timing. The one exception was Victor he would show the right or left profile and read his lines perfectly. I don't know how he kept a straight face. By the way he was 45 at this time.

After he makes it over the mountains it becomes a love story between Hannibal and Sylvia the niece of the Roman determined to do Hannibal in. Even Hannibal's men think they are in trouble because Hannibal is gaw gaw over a Roman girl. Here uncle thinks she is a traitor but still loves her like a daughter.

A few wars with some so so elephant scenes and a lot of obviously fake blood. Hannibal's ex turns up and Sylvia runs off.

Will Hannibal and Sylvia ever get their lives together?

Who wins the war?

Why did they stop the story so abruptly?

VCI Entertainment presents "HANNIBAL" (1960) (100 mins/Color) --- (Dolby digitally remastered) --- Under Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia (Director), Edgar G. Ulmer (Director), Ottavio Poggi (Producer), Mortimer Braus (Screenwriter), Raffaele Masciocchi (Cinematographer), Franco Ferrara (Musical Direction/Supervision), Carlo Rustichelli (Composer (Music Score), Renato Cinquini (Editor), Ernesto Kromberg (Art Director), Carlo Gentili (Set Designer), G. Gentili (Set Designer), Giancarlo Bartolini-Salimbene (Costume Designer) - - - - our plot and story line follows the series of battles from 218 to 216 BC which culminated in Hannibal's victorious, heavy defeat of the biggest ever assembled Roman Army of 80,000 (Battle of Cannae) --- take not it mentions the siege of Saguntum (Rome's Ally in Spain) which brought on the second Punic War when the Carthaginian senate refused to surrender Hannibal Barca to them --- rather they would skirmish and harass Hannibal and not engage in open battle as the Roman senate tries to persuade after briefly showing the events of the Battle of Trebia (December 218 BC) and the battle of Lake Trasimene (June 217 BC) there are political scenes involving both the Carthaginians and the Romans as Fabius Maximus --- Victor Mature captures the character of Hannibal well --- the only draw back of the film was that it did not appear to command the same budget available for it's production as "The 300 Spartans" or "Spartacus" --- so the battle of Cannae, Hannibal's finest hour (or hours) did not come across as the battle would have done --- they would have needed to assemble AT LEAST 130,000 extras in order to portray the events at Cannae --- But it still came across in a fine fashion.

the cast includes:
Victor Mature ... Hannibal
Gabriele Ferzetti ...

Review later! First, if you've EVER liked this movie at any time, please buy this particular dvd. I really BEG you to, because it's such a fine print of the movie! I've never seen it in full anamorphic widescreen right up until this arrived. The remastered print is a revelation and an utter joy, best on a large tv! I always sensed Hannibal was a better movie than it has somehow always seemed and this is the proof. I bet it hasn't looked this good since it was in the cinemas! It has suffered from too many cheap editions over the years in 4: 3 aspect (or at best 16: 9 ratio) market copies with poor image and sound. So in the hope you can be sure of buying the same dvd I got - Amazon listing ASIN: B0002VEU4O (this dvd's details on Amazon are absent), here are the details on the case. Amazon usually state whose "version" any dvd is, but the category "studio" (which is where Amazon differentiates betweem the different the dvd "editions"), is not there for this dvd! Anyway, on the case are these details, at the rear, bottom left. First, "VCI Entertainment." (If all else fails, vcient.com will work). Also there is a "special dedication of thanks" to the "Edgar G. Ulmar Preservation Corporation" - a name which, it turns out, is this film's director (the corporation is no small beer if you google it). The only other thing on the case is "copyright MCMLX Warner Bros., Inc."

Tedious part over, now my review of Hannibal. If critics find Hannibal a "second rank spectacular" with "unconvincing" battle scenes (as a review here mentions), equally as a fan, I'm bound to point out that to leave matters there does an injustice to this fun, spectacular, 1959 epic.
