Hercules and the Captive Women
THE WEIRDEST! THE WILDEST! Half Woman! Half Stone!
Directed by Vittorio Cottafavi
Produced by Comptoir Français du Film Production, SpA Cinematografica
A colorful, pulpy mythological adventure featuring Hercules battling shape-shifters and femmes fatales in a fantastical Atlantis, driven by action and spectacle rather than depth.
King Androcles of Thebes commands a ship in search of a threat to Greece, predicted by an atmospheric oracle. Hercules is part of the crew, but the strongman falls overboard in a thick fog. Washed ashore, he saves a young Ismene from Proteus, an evil, shape-shifting creature. Ismene takes Hercules to Atlantis, where he discovers that her mother, Queen Antinea, has captured Androcles. Hercules schemes to rescue him and thwart Antinea's dream of world conquest.
