Viewing Notes

Thanks to Netflix Watch Instantly I was able to rewatch this Reg Park Hercules flick in Hercules and the Captive Women (1961). You’d think with a title like that and Fay Spain as the Queen of Atlantis the film would be at least a little provocative. No, not really. Isn’t all that bad but hardly the best of Reg Park films. I dig the creepy blonde clones. I do really admire the crazy set pieces… seriously, the underground chariot the race is amazing.
