In terms of sets, costumes and decoration it still looked good, unfortunately the incoherent story was not in line with that. The beautiful Lopez we see as Queen Omphale would die of leukemia later that year.

1.5*.

"Haha what a life, to wake up in the morning without a care in the world and nothing to do!"

Steve Reeves, the most handsome and aesthetically muscular man the world has ever graced with his presence, once again assumes the role of the Greek mythological demigod Hercules. The film uses a narrator to guide the story. This gives you the impression that you are watching a radio book rather than a feature film. The lyrics therefore come across as if they were taken straight from a book. Sorry about the dubbed voices. The singing and dancing in between is also more of a distraction than an addition, but fortunately these musical distractions don't last too long.

When Hercules drinks the water from the well of oblivion, he falls victim to red-haired babe queen Omphale (Sylvia Lopez). His friend young Ulysses tries to remind Hercules who he really is in order to escape the evil queen. The highlight of the film is Hercules' fight with the tigers and the battle with the horse and carriages in which Hercules pulls down the climbing towers with a rope.
