Ulisse contro Ercole

Right from the very start we are treated to high adventure as Hercules chases down the hero Ulysses. After sacking Troy, Ulysses returns home and happens upon the Cyclops Polyphemus and after witnessing him eat his comrades, Ulysses blinds the giant. Hercules is sent to capture Ulysses at the Cyclops' request. This movie starts with the chase by 2 enemies who later become friends. They land in a strange land ruled by Bird Men and later escape and join the war to free their homeland. I first saw this movie in the mid 1960s and it still holds up as entertainment even today. A fabulous tale of heroic adventure. All the outdoor scenes were filmed in the Canary Islands (part of Spain). Note the desert scenes and the "staircase" which can still be seen today in 2022. Watch this movie if you require a great adventure tale.
