Summary: Solved your problems.............Amazon France
Comment: Hercules was released by Amazon France in near perfect condition. In widescreen (2:35:1)under the title "Les Travaux D'Hercule", color and clarity, about 90% good, the only fault is that the soundtrack has a slight hum through the entire movie, not loud enough to be a worry, but it's there. It has the newer credits but it's certainly the best print around for my money. It is, or was available with a French cover. A quick check at Amazon France would answer any questions.

Summary: Steve Reeves - Re-mastered!
Comment: Out of all of the so-called "Sword and Sandal" genre of films, Hercules is the best in almost every aspect, and rightly so - the enormous success of the film spawned the genre in the first place! First of all, the actors are perfect for the film, in my opinion. Steve Reeves, who was named Mr. Universe right before filming Hercules, really is the perfect Hercules figure and the casting director for the film deserves a lot of credit. The fact that Steve performed his own stunts while riding a horse (in what is possibly the best horse scene in a film ever!) helps to expand the "cult" of Reeves fans, of which now I'm, a little begrudgingly, a card-carrying member of. The incredibly handsome Steve can't be denied!

But of course, even the parts where Steve's not baring his brawn are fun. The director, Pietro Francisci (who, by some sort of horrible mix-up directed the awful 1977 Star Pilot), wove two separate tales from Greek mythology together, from Jason and the Argonauts and the 12 Labors of Hercules. It's a brisk enough pace to keep the movie fun and cool. Watching the movie, I could really see how it caught the attention of teenagers in the late 50's.

Luckily, the transfer of this version is excellent! I'm glad that this classic film is finally being presented with some attention to quality, which other copies seem to lack. That really makes for the perfect combination - great quality film plus great quality!
