Steve Reeves | Hercules (1958) Adventure Fantasy Movie | Directed by Pietro Francisci

The muscular Hercules performs his Labors, sails with the Argonauts, and romances the fair Iole. In this melange of characters and events from separate mythological stories, Hercules, demigod and super-human, arrives in the ancient Greek kingdom of Iolcus to tutor Iphitus, son of king Pelias; immediately on arrival, he falls in love with the king’s delectable, briefly clad daughter Iole. Before he can win her, he must succeed in a series of quests, in the course of which he teams up with Jason, true heir of Iolcus, whom he accompanies on the famous voyage of the Argonauts.
