Trivia:
This became yet another film in which director of photography Mario Bava had to step in as director (uncredited). Galatea Film decided to finally reward Bava by giving him a chance to develop his own project which he would direct. This led to the production of La maschera del demonio (1960), which began Bava's career as a solo director.

Hopefully, one day Steve Reeves will get the justice of a really good DVD collection. he deserves no less.
He had the classic physique which commands attention, and still does compared to many of the later 'action heroes' which fit this, and the Hercules movies perfectly. However, although not the greatest transfer, I thought that this movie was fantastic. The battle scenes were great, particularly the underwater sequences, and suitably epic. Add to that a great treacherous villain and a complex femme fatale. Plus, I have to add the allure of Andromeda to my rating. Now, I'm sure that I am probably reading too much in to it, but, many of the battle scenes really evoked Saving Private Ryan for me. Spielberg a peplum fan? With Mario Bava holding the camera, why not?
