TriviaAlthough it is usually assumed that the somewhat skimpy battle scenes were due to director 's legendary cheapness, Corman had actually arranged for the services of 500 soldiers from the local Greek army garrison. On the morning of filming, however, only about 50 showed up, and as the day wore on (and the heat intensified), some of them drifted away. In order to make it look like there were more 'soldiers' than there actually were, Corman had them march in formation past the camera, then when out of camera range run around behind the crew and equipment, and march past the camera again. Ticketmaster exchange. That is also why the battle scenes are filmed in close-up combat between individual soldiers or small groups of soldiers rather than in long shots of masses of battling infantry, as Corman had originally planned.
1960's 'Atlas' was Roger Corman's impoverished attempt at a Hercules-type epic (shot on location in Greece), without the budget. Griffith could always be relied upon to deliver a script very quickly, and the haste is quite evident here, as the dialogue sounds risibly modernistic, and American actor Frank Wolff hilariously dubbed. Judging from his previous work on 'A Bucket of Blood' and 'The Little Shop of Horrors,' one can easily conclude that this was written as a satire, and it does deliver a few chuckles.
Star Michael Forest, like Wolff a veteran of Corman's 'Ski Troop Attack' and 'Beast from Haunted Cave,' looked more impressive years later bare chested on both GILLIGAN'S ISLAND and STAR TREK. As the battle scenes come off as anemic, the only visually arresting image remains the comely Barboura Morris, who spent her entire career in Corman's service, until her untimely death at age 43 in 1975. 'Atlas' made its only appearance on Pittsburgh's Chiller Theater during its first season, alternating Saturday afternoons and Sunday nights, airing Sat March 14 1964, while the Sunday night co-feature (which likewise never repeated) was 1958's 'Spy in the Sky!'
