Actors:
Steve Reeves, Sylvia Lopez, Sylva Koscina, Sergio Fantoni, Mimmo Palmara
Rating: 1 out of 10, I think (pray)
that I’ve reached the end of the Hercules section of my foray through bad
cinema and I ended it (hopefully) with the guy who was supposedly the gold standard
(who knew) for this early 1960s phenomena – Steve Reeves. Herc returns home
with his new wife, both wearing daring mini skirts that were apparently all the rage
in ancient Greece. They get embroiled with a dynastic fight involving old friend
Oedipus until they bring on the dancing girls and Hercules is spirited away as
a love slave. His young buddy Ulysses and his jilted wife work to free him as
this winds down into criminal mediocrity.
MVP: Koscina as Herc’s wife Iole –
just dominating that mini-skirt
