Hercules (1958) Le fatiche di Ercole The stupendous saga of the mightiest of

We would not watch this if the ultimate Hercules, Steve Reeves, wasn't in it.
Steve starred in and occasionally produced and scripted these things, but
somehow we don't hold that against him; in fact we love him more for it.
Hercules rescues Iole, returns her to Pelias. The prince is killed, Hercules is
blamed. Hercules gives up his immortality, fights the Cretan Bull. Jason enters
as the rightful king. He sails to the end of the Earth to get the Golden Fleece.
There's a storm, a hostile tribe of women, a traitor, and Jason kills a dragon.
The Fleece is stolen, Hercules is imprisoned. Iole frees Hercules, who aids
Jason. The battle is one of the best in the Hercules series, his wrists in
chains Hercules kills the man who murdered Jason's dad, pulls down the pillars
of the palace and wipes out the cavalry. Pelias commits suicide and Iole goes to
Hercules. The end.
Hercules
This is the granddaddy of them all! The origin of all those "Sword and
Sandal" epics that showed up weekly on television during my mis-spent
teen-aged years. And, of course, it paved the way for contemporary stars like
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Sorbo, and Lucy Lawless.

There have always been lots of movies that show or exploit sex, but far fewer
that try to explore it seriously, as a rich, meaningful subject, whether
psychological or social...
