Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe soundtrack of the American release ("Hercules and the Captive Women") contains several short passages from the score of Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), in particular the easily recognizable three-note "Creature theme."
- GoofsNear the end of the film, Hercules swims away from the island to a boat, but when he climbs aboard he is completely dry.
- Alternate versionsFor the Woolner Brothers U.S. release version, under the title "Hercules and the Captive Women", the original score has been replaced by a stock score selected by Gordon Zahler. Zahler used much of the same music he had selected for the U.S. release of Kurt Maetzig's _First Spaceship on Venus (1962)_ as well as portions of the score from Jack Arnold's _Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954)_ .
- ConnectionsEdited into Hercules the Avenger (1965)
Featured review
"Hercules returns just in time to save a gorgeous damsel in distress from the clutches of a wicked monster. The grateful beauty takes him to her home in Atlantis. Hercules must intervene again to save her from her murderous mother and some unfriendly inhabitants. Hercules, his son, and the maiden escape before the city and its population are destroyed," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.
Dubbed "Hercules and the Captive Women" from the original Italian, this one features Reg Park's debut as one of the exported "sword and sandal" strongmen. Don't watch for the numerous scenes involving Hercules rescuing "Captive Women" because there are none. Instead, you get to see him save one captive, or rather, less than half of her. There are some nicely dressed scenes, though.
*** Ercole alla conquista di Atlantide (8/19/61) Vittorio Cottafavi ~ Reg Park, Fay Spain, Ettore Manni, Luciano Marin
