Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the pilot for a TV series titled "Hercules", that never materialized. The series would have Hercules (Gordon Scott) master of the ship Olympia, along with the philosopher Diogenes (Paul Stevens), returning the young Ulysses (Mart Hulswit) to Thebes. Each episode would have the ship stopping at various locations where they would face challenges and adventures. The producers were planning to recruit US actors familiar to American TV viewers, especially actors who were already in Europe working on other projects. This was Scott's last appearance in a peplum, as he moved on to its replacement genre, the spaghetti western.

Featured review
Italian Peplum Movie with Gordon SCOTT, Giorgio ARDISSON and Gordon MITCHELL
In 1965 the boom in Italian sandal films was gradually coming to an end. As a result, a pilot film for a series was filmed for American television, but it was not realized. For almost 50 minutes you can watch Hercules (Gordon Scott) save a Trojan princess (Diana Hyland) from being sacrificed to a strange sea monster that looks terribly artificial. The only things worth mentioning are Gordon Mitchell as the pirate captain and Giorgio Ardisson (who would soon start off as the "Italian James Bond") as Leander.
The voice-overs, which comment on the events like a storybook, are particularly annoying. You can clearly see that this was not produced for the cinema, but for television.
Rightly forgotten!
