Interesting facts
The Warrior is a 1916 film directed by Luigi Romano Borgnetto and Luigi Maggi and starring Bartolomeo Pagano in the role of Maciste.
Production
This is one of the first films starring the character of Maciste, who Giovanni Pastrone created in 1914 Cabiria. It saw huge success in Italy and abroad and whose name is due to Gabriele D'Annunzio who thus created a neologism that is still in use today. The warrior is the best-known and critically praised film of the Maciste series.
The film is not far from what the series (with the exception of Maciste in hell) became: an escapist fantasy with the horrors of the First World War not really addressed.
