Hercules and the Captive Women

Bidden by the King of Thebes (Ettore Manni), Hercules (Reg Park) sets sail to determine what unseen force is threatening Greece with destruction. Along the way, he must contend with a mutiny as well as an encounter with the shape-shifting villain, Proteus, on a mysterious island where young Princess Ismene is trapped in a rock formation. Rescuing and returning the girl to the island of Atlantis, Hercules meets her evil mother, Queen Antinea (Fay Spain) who has created an army of brainwashed supermen to conquer the world. Antinea attempts to neutralize Hercules by forcing him to fall in love with her.

“Ex-Dragstrip Girl and Teenage Doll Fay Spain is one of the best evil Queen types ever, just terrific. Like all truck stop sirens that get the hots for Hercules, Spain’s Antinea tries to lobotomize the (happily married) hunk with a date-rape drug. Herc takes the sleeping potion but is smart enough to spit it all out and escape from her icy clutches.” – Glenn Erickson, DVD Savant
