Trivia:
This film was not released in the U.S. until mid-1965. U.S. fans regard it as the last of the big Italian produced sword and sandal/muscleman epics. It was directed by Pietro Francisci who had started the craze with his Fatiche di Ercole, Le (1958). moreFAQ

TCM often shows films not available on video, and this, such a film, is most interesting.
As the sword and sandal craze dwindled this was unloaded onto the matinée market by MGM in 1965. Strongman Kirk Morris plays the lead Hercules, assisted by crafty Ulysses and equally powerful Samson against the evil ruler of Gaza.
This is actually a weirdly absorbing movie, as I found myself wanting to see it to the conclusion. The plot is rather complex, with double-crosses, duels to the death and some attractive scenery. As is to be expected, dubbing makes all of the action somewhat hard to follow. The larger-than-life characters are acted with gusto. I hope we see a DVD of this someday...
