Medallion worn by Mature


Victor Mature wears a gold medallion on his chest, any idea what it is?
I LOVE this film and it is SHAMEFUL that there is not a DVD out.
Great director, great actors deserve it.

Censorship is unhealthy for a society's arts, literature, and life.

Deeply tanned chest, low-necked open shirt, a full head of nicely-dyed black hair, this is Hollywood. The medallion is part of the look, probably considered more macho than dangling jewelry.

In another movie Mature played le Schifre (The Scarf) with a colorful scarf around his neck.

Hooray for Hollywood!

Linda,I just recorded the movie on TCM and it is letterbox format.Did you also record it?

The large medallion looks like a large Christian religious St. Christopher medal.
