This photo (scroll to no 25) is from the University of Hawaii’s brilliant Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands collection. Sfida al re di Castiglia (”The Tyrant of Castile”), a 1963 Hispano-Italian, helmet-clattering, bodice-busting epic featuring Mark Damon and Rada Rassimov, had taken roughly seven years to get from Europe to a cinema on Yap, Micronesia.

Do you think the lead looks more like John Kerry or the Tin Man?
