Marco Polo

I didn't expect much going in but I found myself quite enjoying it. Rory Calhoun really shines in this role as adventurer. He's just an immense amount of fun as Marco Polo. This is a lower budget Italian affair, but it's done very well with what they had available to them.

Everyone is able and plays their roles well. It's solid technically, with good pacing and editing. You could almost think of it as a B film version of an Indiana Jones movie. The sets and art direction are quite excellent too. Most surprising is that the people of Orient were treated quite respectfully in how they were portrayed give this was made in 1962.

It's definitely one I'll rewatch from time to time.
