Slaves of Babylon (1953) is another film produced by Columbia Pictures. A weird biblical- adventure pastiche movie
directed by William Castle. Low-budget
sets and lots of matte paintings.
Jack
Erickson is credited for special effects. Matte paintings are again uncredited, and
no idea who the painter was on that show, but I think these attractive and colourful
paintings are worth a look.
Matte
paintings from Columbia Pictures remain a mystery, with only a handful of artists known to have painted on its films during the
40´s. The odds are that during the 50´s
and 60´s they may have hired freelance matte painters or artists from other
Studios.
Most
certainly the same artist who painted
mattes for Serpent of the Nile.
