Still good after all these years

I too first saw this movie when I was in my very early teens and still at school, but unlike my movie buff friend who wrote the first comment, I enjoyed this film when I saw it again many years later and still do some half a century after the first time.

Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn are excellent in their lead roles as one can imagine by their chequered careers, nevertheless I find Rossana Podesta' and Silvana Mangano very good on the eyes but rather pedestrian in their interpretations of the "forgotten women". I doubt a man like Ulysses would fall for such a verveless Circe.

Young Franco Interlenghi plays a suitable youthful Telemachus. The scenes with Polyphemus are good and the overall photography quite stunning. The final scenes when Ulysses rids his house of the unwanted suitors is very violent and gory but well performed. Unfortunately the English dialogue is dubbed and at times this is quite obvious, but after all this was an Italian production (I first saw it in the original language with my late father).

" The Gods are Playful and without Mercy "

Any history class which desires to imbue students with imagination, needs this film in their library on Ancient Greece. In 1955 this movie on the wanderings of the Trojan Hero "Ulysses" made it's way across the country. In the professional opinion of many a history teacher, this movie fell far short of being historically accurate, but in it's basic rendition of Homer's classical, it proved a masterpiece. In this version, fans saw the Greek Ithican King as portrayed by Kirk Douglas. For his fans it was a perfect role and one which convinced us, he was indeed a true thespian. Through his legendary encounters with the Titan, Polythemeus, The Sirens of the rocks, and of course, Circe, the witch, he is pitted against all the ancient Gods. But it is his final challenge by the suitors who wish to claim his wife and throne, which is his greatest threat, for they are led by the champion Antinoos (Anthony Quinn), from the island of Encephelonea. Only through a special contest and with the help of Athena, can he regain his kingdom, his wife and his son. This is a classic in its own right and like our hero, has never been equaled. ****

Still entertaining after 64 years.

In this film there are two absolute beauties, Silvana Mangano (in double role, Circe and Penelope) and a very young Rossana Podestà (Nausicaa), both not only very beautiful but also very talented actresses, which is rare. Big Anthony Quinn doesn't have a great role in this movie, not because he's bad, but because he has an insignificant small part. Kirk Douglas, however, shines sharply in the title role, being credible, funny, dynamic, excellent.

Cool Cyclops!

I enjoyed it very much. I assume this was the earliest of the bunch of muscleman films that became increasingly popular with the release of the Hercules with Steve Reeves. It starts out a bit slow, but Ulysses' voyage is done wonderfully. The highlight of course is the cyclops that takes him and his men prisoner. The effects are well done, as is the cyclops make-up. Kirk Douglas makes a good Ulysses and Silvana Mangano is beautiful as his wife Penelope and seductive in the second role of the witch, Circe. If you enjoy these kinds of films, this is one of the good ones.

The original sword n sandal film which ignited the Italian peplum craze.

I havent seen Fabiola (1949) which is also responsible for the peplum craze.

I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs. Revisited it recently.

I enjoyed this movie then. I found it to be very entertaining now.

Douglass' acting is one of the best part. He gav a good performance n showed versatility. At times he was aggressive, at times charming, shrewd, cunning n best of all his humor n facial expressions is top notch. The way he taunts the Cyclops is hilarious.

When Ulysses and his men crush the grapes to make wine for Polyphemus, Ulysses gives the juice directly to him. The juice hasn't had time to ferment. so Polyphemus gets drunk on just grape juice.

Citações
Circe: Ulysses, what are you doing? Do you really think you can leave me?
Ulysses: I have left you long ago, Circe. The day my men died.
Circe: And do you think your journey will outlast theirs?
Ulysses: You can't keep me here any longer.
Circe: Listen to me! I'll give you something to make you forget those petty dreams of yours. Your pitiful kingdom, your aging wife. Stay, and tonight Olympus will crown a new god: Ulysses!
Ulysses: Immortality?
Circe: This is my gift. The greatest gift ever given to a man.
Ulysses: [after a pause] No. There are greater gifts. To be born. To die. And in between, to live as a man.
Circe: Yes, live as a man. Kneaded from fear.
Ulysses: Only those who know fear understand courage.
Circe: And old age? That rolling mean you call a body? Then - death. Such is man's terrible legacy.
Ulysses: I accept this inheritance. I don't even flatter myself that I'll fall in battle or in the roar of storms. Far less will suffice. A sudden shiver. A chill at dusk. And yet - this fragile heap of fear dared to fight a god - and remains undefeated. If men speak of me one day, they will do so with pride, because I was of them.
Circe: Their pride won't warm you in the kingdom of shadows. I offer you centuries of light!
Ulysses: I don't think I will mind closing my eyes when the time comes.
