(1964) Dan Vadis, Marilù Tolo, Pierre Cressoy, Piero Lulli, Howard Ross, Moira Orfei. Vadis’ first film as Hercules. Cressoy is a ruthless prince who teams up with an evil but beautiful witch (played by the stunning Moira Orfei). She sends his squad of golden warriors to unleash havoc. Can Hercules stop them? There is a TON of action in this largely forgotten Peplum epic. Watch for the great climax where Hercules is fooled by Orfei’s hypnotic powers as his beloved hangs perilously from an ocean cliff. Aka Hercules vs. the Giant Warriors. Great color, from 35mm.
