aka Le Fatiche di Ercole.Or should I say Hercules and the golden fleece, as it's really a retelling of the classic story from his point of view. With the odd lion and bull wrestling, and a meeting with the Amazonians, thrown in, before Jason defeats a dragon (looking like a clumsy T-rex) and obtains the fleece.
This is the film that made Steve Reeves a star and spawned the sword and sandal genre. It's an enjoyable take on the myth, though it has it's problems with pacing and falls a little flat at times, but it's generally entertaining and looks good courtesy of some fine cinematography by Mario Bava.
