| | Posted: | | | |  Sword and sandal films, or pepla (singular=peplum) are a class of Italian-made adventure or fantasy films that have subjects set in Biblical or classical antiquity, often with contrived plots based very loosely on mythology or Greco-Roman history, or the surrounding cultures of the same era (Egyptians, Assyrians, Etruscans, Minoans), etc. The peplum is a sub-category of the genre of Period films or the historical epics. From Wikipedia  Can you add this Gender to the next DVD Profiler ? Best Regards |

| | Posted: | | | | Ken added the ability in the latest version for us to setup custom genres. So you actually have a way to add this genre yourself. You can set them up under Tools, Edit Custom Genres. While it's always possible that Peplum could be added to the main program, I think the chances of this happening are very low. So this is probably the best approach to the problem. The only downside of custom genres is that they don't get submitted to the main database. You'll have to assign that genre to everything yourself. And since I see you're French, I just thought I'd point out the word you're looking for is Genre. Gender is whether someone is male or female.  | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, I don't think "Peplum" is popular enough to be justified to adding it to the program. There are much more popular genres still missing. As Mark says, the ideal solution is Custom Genres. |

| | Posted: | | | | BTW: Out of curiosity. In Germany movies such as The Three Musketeers are called "Mantel und Degen"-Filme (literally: cloak and rapier movies). I know that cloak-and-dagger is a fix term meaning "spy movies". Is there an english equivalent to the "Three Musketeers" genre? | | | Karsten

Or is that only pirate movies?  | | | | "I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world because they'd never expect it." - Jack Handey |

| | Posted: | | | | Over here in the US, something like that would fall under historical/costume drama, or action/adventure. I can't recall running into a particular genre that is specific to these kinds of movies. Edit: Not bad, Broven. Swashbuckler would probably be the closest fit, but I think most folks associate that with water of some form.  | | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

| | Posted: | | | | Swashbuckler or swasher is a term that developed in the 16th century to describe rough, noisy and boastful swordsmen. Today the term "swashbuckler" has changed, and refers to both a type of fictitious character and to a fiction genre, especially in the world of film. The word "swashbuckler", in the modern sense, generally describes a fearless romantic archetype, a fictitious, adventurous, sword-wielding, male character who seeks to win the heart of a beautiful lady while rescuing society from the clutches of a dastardly villain. A classic swashbuckler exhibits exceptional courage and swordfighting skill, a strong sense of honor and justice, a chivalric romantic sense, and the capacity for wit, style, and resourcefulness under pressure. Such characters include The Three Musketeers, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Robin Hood, Zorro. Go to the top of the class Broven  | | |  |
